When implementing a health promotion program within a culturally diverse community in Providence, RI, it is crucial to ensure that the program is culturally appropriate. Cultural appropriateness means tailoring the program to fit the specific cultural beliefs, values, and norms of the community to effectively engage and empower individuals towards health improvement. To ensure cultural appropriateness, I would first conduct a thorough needs assessment by involving community members from different cultural backgrounds. By actively engaging the community, I would gather information about their unique health beliefs, preferred communication channels, and community leaders who hold influence. This information will help guide the development and implementation of the program (Tulane University, 2021). To empower the community towards health improvement, it is good to apply several culturally appropriate concepts and skills. Utilize cultural humility, which involves recognizing and acknowledging that my own cultural perspective may not align with those of the community members. This requires actively listening to their voices, respecting their values, and valuing their lived experiences. Basically, applying the National CLAS standards (Department of Health & Human Services, n.d.) I would prioritize cultural adaptation, which involves modifying the program content, format, and delivery to match the cultural context. This may include translating materials into different languages, incorporating traditional healing practices or culturally relevant examples, and using culturally appropriate visuals or symbols. One objective that can integrate the competency of cultural competence into this practicum is: “By the end of the program, 75% of community members from diverse cultural backgrounds will express satisfaction with the culturally appropriate materials and interventions used in the health promotion program, as measured by post-program surveys.”
