Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this continuing education activity, participants should be able to:
- Discuss issues related to cultural competency in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
- Identify strategies to promote self-awareness about attitudes, beliefs, biases, and behaviors that may influence the disaster services they provide.
- Devise strategies to enhance skills toward the provision of culturally and linguistically competent care in disaster situations.
- Demonstrate the advantages of the adoption of the CLAS Standards as appropriate in their emergency services.
Goal/Statement of Need
According to U.S. Census data, minorities now comprise roughly one-third of the U.S. population, and it is anticipated that these groups will be in the majority by 2042. It is projected that more than half of all children in the U.S. will be minorities by 2023. These changes are attributable to a wide variety of reasons and it is clear that our nation is becoming more diverse; what is less clear is the access to and quality of the health care that Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and culturally diverse individuals will receive. In order to provide appropriate care for diverse populations and to help eliminate current health disparities, the Cultural Competency Curriculum for Disaster Preparedness and Crisis Response (CCC-DPCR) was developed to effectively equip first responders with awareness, knowledge, and skills in cultural competencies to better treat the increasingly diverse U.S. population.
