Training
Description:
The Cultural Elements in Treating Hispanic and Latino Populations training curriculum was
developed by the National Hispanic and Latino ATTC to address the need for cultural and
science-based information among providers serving Hispanic and Latino populations. This
training curriculum was originally a monograph of the same name authored by Dr. William A.
Vega, a Behavioral Scientist whose work has been featured in the New England Journal of
Medicine and Archives of General Psychiatry, and who has published over numerous articles
and whose research has been sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. This curriculum is
organized into modules which can be modified according to the target audience. It contains
information that is helpful for professionals that serve Hispanic and Latino communities. It
provides tools for those seeking to prepare their workforce in the cultural competence area. The
training provides the opportunity to have professionals attend events aimed at increasing skill
sets and acquiring information relevant to responding in culturally competent manners.
Learning
Objectives:
At the end of the two-day training, participants will be able to:
1. Define the characteristics and demographics of the Hispanic and Latino population.
2. Explain at least three barriers to treatment and culture-related issues for Hispanics and
Latinos seeking substance use disorder (SUD) treatment.
3. Describe how to apply cultural elements as they relate to treatment and implications in
working with Hispanics and Latinos.
