Using Mixed Methods to Evaluate Cultural Responsiveness of Behavioral Interventions: A Case Example from Early Childhood

Given increasing cultural diversity and disparities in outcomes, the need to evaluate the cultural responsiveness is greater than ever. During the effectiveness trial of BEST in CLASS, mixed methods were applied to evaluate cultural responsiveness that leverage established frameworks and focus on lived experience. This presentation will provide an overview of methods for assessing cultural responsiveness and describe preliminary findings associated with the BEST in CLASS program.
