Adapting Evidence-Based Practices for Under-Resourced Populations

Tailoring care, programs, and services to the cultural, social, gender, and other demographic contexts of individuals served yields positive outcomes. Communities and individuals benefit when they receive behavioral health services that are clinically proven effective, equitable, and culturally appropriate. This course describes various types of cultural adaptations of EBPs for under-resourced populations and the multiple steps in the adaptation process. The course also focuses on research supporting such adaptations.
