Few studies examine intercultural relations in emerging adulthood. Framed from the perspective of the Mutual Intercultural Relations in Plural Societies (MIRIPS) project, the current paper examined the mediating role of tolerance and perceived consequences of immigration in the relationship between multicultural ideology and attitudes towards immigrants. Additionally, the moderating role of context was analysed. A two-group structural equation modelling was performed on data collected from 305 Italian emerging adults living both in northern and in southern Italy with different socio-political climates towards immigrants. In both groups, tolerance and perceived consequences of immigration mediated the relationship between multicultural ideology and attitudes towards immigrants. Also, this indirect relationship was significantly higher for the northern than southern Italians. These findings provide provisional evidence of mediating and moderating processes in the relationship between multicultural ideology and attitudes towards immigrants and suggest important implications for practitioners interested in promoting intercultural relations among emerging adults.

Purpose: This paper aims to introduce an adapted, culturally competent leadership conceptual framework for indigenous health care, aiming to improve health access and address gaps in Western-centric leadership models.
Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review and thematic analysis of 32 peer-reviewed articles were conducted, guided by transformational and cultural sensitivity frameworks to adapt a conceptual framework to support health access in indigenous communities.
Findings: The adapted indigenous leadership conceptual framework (AILCF) includes 11 interrelated leadership themes - visionary leadership, supportive and empathetic leadership, adaptive leadership, integrity and ethical leadership, communicative leadership, courageous leadership, cultural competence, community engagement and relationship-building, historical trauma and healing, structural change and leadership in crisis - synthesized through transformational and culturally sensitive leadership lenses to support equitable health access and culturally grounded leadership in indigenous health-care settings.

The sine qua non of intervention studies in general, and randomized controlled trials in particular, is to define and isolate an exposure of interest that defines the intervention and distinguishes between groups. The isolation of a presumptive cause is prerequisite to the confident attribution of given effects. In the context of dietary intervention studies, this has historically translated into a unitary intervention diet type, no matter the diversity of preferences, tastes, upbringings, ethnicities, and cultures represented in a given study cohort.

Cultural identity and the societal context of mental health issues play an important part in the decision to seek help Chan et al (Stigma Health 3:283-93, 2018). Both acculturation or the cultural socialization to mainstream culture by ethnic and racial minorities Sun et al (J Couns Psychol 63:617-32, 2016), and enculturation, or the retention of one's culture of origin, influence a person's perceptions of mental health care and willingness to seek help when needed. Indeed, a range of studies have shown varying levels of help-seeking behaviors between cultural groups linked to identification with dominant or nondominant cultures Seamark D, and Gabriel L (Br J Guid Couns 46:120-31, 2018).

Purpose: A growing body of research supports the influence of gender norms on adolescent mental health globally. There is a lack of qualitative studies, however, that elicit adolescents' own perspectives on these issues across diverse cross-cultural environments. The current study seeks to address these gaps through a qualitative exploration of gendered influences on mental health among adolescents living in 13 countries.
