Synopsis: With work that began with health plans serving predominantly Medicaid beneficiaries and continues with the National Health Plan Collaborative, CHCS is working to identify ways to improve the quality of health care for racially and ethnically diverse populations. Each of the Collaborative health plans is evaluating provider-, member- and community-targeted approaches that use race and ethnicity data to determine the effectiveness of these approaches in reducing gaps in care and improving the quality of care racial and ethnic populations receive.

Synopsis: Training for service providers now encompasses the needs, problems, and mental health concerns of our multicultural society. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the California Brief Multicultural Competence Scale (CBMCS) and a 32-hour multicultural training program, derived from the CBMCS self-report cultural competence instrument. This training, designed to be applicable across mental health settings and providers with different professional backgrounds and affiliations, can effectively bridge the gap between research-based psychological science and community practice.
