Abstract
Historically, open-ended interviews have been used to assist in the design of functional analyses. Currently, there are scant resources teaching clinicians how they can conduct more culturally responsive and trauma-informed interviews to assist in their design of functional analyses. The purpose of this tutorial is to teach clinicians why they should and how they can align their interviews with the commitments of cultural responsiveness and trauma-informed care by providing clinicians with actionable steps. We provide a sample interview to demonstrate our recommendations and offer a ready-to-use tool for clinicians.
