Sumario:In recent years social work has increasingly focused on spirituality and religion as key elements of cultural competency.# Consequently, speci!c intervention strategies have been fostered in order to provide the most appropriate interventions for religious clients. In an effort to facilitate cultural competence with clients who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a brief spiritual assessment instrument was developed.# This mixed-method study asked experts in Church culture to identify the degree of cultural consistency, strengths, and limitations of the brief spiritual assessment instrument. Results indicate that the framework is consistent with Church culture and a number of practice-oriented implications are offered.
