Product Description:

Vermont developed a Cultural and Linguistic Competence training model that focuses on health disparities. The poster session will include core components of the training and review data attesting to the model's effectiveness in increasing providers' knowledge. Data analyses revealed significant increases in participants' knowledge relating to the difference in net worth between US white and black families of similar incomes (53% pre vs. 71% post, p=.04), race identification (33% pre vs. 93% post), genetic variation (24% pre vs. 100% post), and genetic similarity of groups (5% pre vs. 97% post), among other topics.
