The term 'generic interventions' is commonly used in Brazilian and Portuguese healthcare, education, and social work contexts to discuss the limitations of applying uniform strategies without considering individual or community-specific needs. In recent years, there has been a cultural shift toward favoring 'intervenções personalizadas' (personalized interventions) and 'abordagens contextualizadas' (contextualized approaches), reflecting a broader movement toward more inclusive and evidence-based practices in social and health policies.
