Presenter Name: Oscar Rojas, PhD, Associate Research Scientist, Yale University School of Medicine Webinar Title/Topic: Cultural Adaptation of Evidence Based Practices Date: Wednesday, December 7, 2022 Time: 11am-12:30pm EST
Summary: Cultural adaptations are systematic changes to existing treatment processes or protocols that incorporate the values, beliefs, assumptions, and language(s) of the culture or group in order to make the treatments more accessible, relevant, and effective (Bernal et al., 2009; Bernal & Domenech Rodríguez, 2012). Professional guidelines consider the best treatment to be one that reflects the client’s needs and expectations within their cultural context (American Psychological Association [APA], 2006). The main goals of the presentation are to help educators and supervisors train clinicians to culturally adapt existing evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for the Latinx population they serve; describe an array of cultural adaptation models, frameworks, and methods; highlight the benefits and challenges of undertaking cultural adaptations; and provide recommendations and resources to culturally adapt and implement an existing EBT.
Learning Objectives: 1. Attendees will recognize and acquire clinical skills to facilitate culturally responsive case conceptualization and treatment planning. 2. Participants will identify various cultural adaption models and their applications for effective clinical practice with Latinx groups. 3. Participants will integrate culturally-specific information into cultural adaptation models for the effective culturally adaption of their evidence-based interventions.
