The purpose of this article is to provide a brief review of guidelines for development of culturally appropriate measures of phenomena. The principles are illustrated by citing an example of their use in developing a survey instrument to be used with a rural Mexican American and Euro American population. Discussion focuses on practical issues of implementing the approaches suggested in the literature and adds to the literature about issues in formatting and administration of survey instruments used in cross‐cultural research. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
