9 Moving Cultural Competency Forward We can never become truly competent in another s culture. We can demonstrate a lifelong commitment to self evaluation and self-critique - Minkler (2005). Journal of Urban Health Cultural Competence Lifelong commitment Cultural Responsiveness

10 Cultural Responsiveness In Context Cultural Responsiveness Maximum Desired Outcome Life-Long Learner Model Cultural Competency Minimum Set of Standards

11 The Growing Need for More Are distrustful of health professionals Many ethnic minorities: Perceive health care providers to be focused on stereotypes associated with minorities See health care providers as disinterested in their needs

12 Cultural Responsiveness: Credo Bearing in mind that lived cultural experiences are embodied (visceral), dynamic, and nuanced. Cultural Responsiveness is a self and process-driven, lifelong commitment to a tailored, dialogue-based approach that responds to the needs being presented by the individual in front of the provider, within a contextual understanding of social/economic/political/linguistic disparities.

13 Goals Values Outcomes Cultural Responsiveness Create stronger, more collaborative dynamics between Black & Latino Gay men and their providers Assist providers in offering care that is not rooted in assumptions, but instead informed by each patient and their specific needs encountered. Knowledge Training Introspection Co-learning Collaboration The work is never done Successful navigation of Black & Latino gay men/msm across the care continuum Recognition, challenging, and responding to active power dynamics between patient and provider that may stand as a barrier to successful navigation of care Creating a tailored, dialogue-based approach that responds to the needs being presented by the patient to the provider at the time Empowerment of the patient/provider dynamic to lead to efficacious care for Black and Latino MSM

15 Introspection

16 A Note on Institutional Consistency Cultural Responsiveness Staff Diversity? (culture, race, ethnicity) Training Institutional process Does institutional ethos support inclusion and respect of differences? What processes/policies currently obstruct lessons learned? Use data to inform whether BGM/Latino MSM/IDUs are achieving health outcomes

17 Expectation Management Knowledge of mistrust concerning providers May be previous negative health care experiences Myth-bust beforehand: there is no monolithic experience Understand power dynamics at play Check your privilege at the door

18 Dialogue (Dual Disclosures)

19 Course of Care

20 Care Assessment Stress importance of setting and keeping follow-up visit During follow-up visits prepare prompt questions to assess gaps in care or treatment non-adherence Assess Using patient input, evaluate pros/cons, successes/challenges with current course of care With patient input, make updates (when necessary) to course of care

21 Course of Care (Re-Engagement) Flexibility matters! The ability to recognize what s not working and push to find something that will is key Minor changes in patient notification strategies ( , text, etc) can revolutionize patient/provider relations Get uncomfortable and follow through
