Framing the impact of culture on health: a systematic review of the PEN-3 cultural model and its application in public health research and interventions
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: This paper reviews available studies that applied the PEN-3 cultural model to address the impact of culture on health behaviors. METHODS: We search electronic databases and conducted a thematic analysis of empirical studies that applied the PEN-3 cultural model to address the impact of culture on health behaviors. Studies were mapped to describe their methods, target population and the health behaviors or health outcomes studied. Forty-five studies met the inclusion criteria. RESULTS: The studies reviewed used the PEN-3 model as a theoretical framework to centralize culture in the study of health behaviors and to integrate culturally relevant factors in the development of interventions. The model was also used as an analysis tool, to sift through text and data in order to separate, define and delineate emerging themes. PEN-3 model was also significant with exploring not only how cultural context shapes health beliefs and practices, but also how family systems play a critical role in enabling or nurturing positive health behaviors and health outcomes. Finally, the studies reviewed highlighted the utility of the model with examining cultural practices that are critical to positive health behaviors, unique practices that have a neutral impact on health and the negative factors that are likely to have an adverse influence on health. DISCUSSION: The limitations of model and the role for future studies are discussed relative to the importance of using PEN-3 cultural model to explore the influence of culture in promoting positive health behaviors, eliminating health disparities and designing and implementing sustainable public health interventions.

TL;DR
This systematic review of 45 studies finds that the PEN-3 cultural model was used to centralize culture in health behavior research and interventions, often as a theoretical framework and qualitative analysis tool. It highlights cultural context, family as an intervention entry point, and positive aspects of culture, while noting limited quantitative testing and transferability concerns.
Key findings
- Of 153 unique references initially retrieved after duplicate removal, 45 articles met inclusion criteria for the review.
- Reviewed studies used PEN-3 as a theoretical framework to centralize culture in health behavior study and intervention development, and as an analysis tool to categorize themes, cross-tabulate the Relationships and Expectations domain with the Cultural Empowerment domain into a 3 × 3 table, and recontextualize findings.
- Three key themes consistently emerged: the importance of context, the role of family as an intervention point of entry, and the need to explore positive aspects of culture on health behaviors.
- The model was applied across health issues including HIV/AIDS, cancer, hypertension, diabetes, malaria, nutrition, smoking, reproductive desires, physical inactivity, stress, and domestic violence.
Methods
- Systematic search of literature published between 1989 and 2013 using Google Scholar, Medline, Proquest, Psyinfo, Social Science citation index, Sociological abstracts, and Web of Science, with keywords including “PEN-3 cultural model” and “PEN-3 cultural model + Disease.”
- Inclusion criteria required use of PEN-3 as a theoretical framework, reported health behavior or health outcome data illustrating its use in data collection and/or analysis and presentation of results, and inclusion of men, women, children, or communities in data collection; review articles, books, and dissertations were excluded.
- PRISMA guidelines guided reporting; abstracts were initially screened by one reviewer, full texts were retrieved and re-screened independently by two reviewers, quality was appraised, and thematic analysis identified common themes across the literature.
Limitations
- The paper states that almost all reviewed studies used PEN-3 to generate and analyze formative/qualitative data, and none appeared to test any construct or domain of the model quantitatively.
- The paper states a transferability limitation: findings from qualitative studies using PEN-3 may not transfer from one context to another, so caution is recommended and PEN-3 should always begin with qualitative study to capture each context’s uniqueness.
- The paper states it is not clear which studies returned to the community to share lessons learned from the assessment phase, and recommends this as a critical part of using PEN-3; evident from the text, the review also excluded review articles, books, and dissertations, which may omit relevant applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-16, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-16 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
