CRDP API TAP 

2017

 

These API Population Guidelines have been drafted at the beginning of Phase II as a guide for the Asian and Pacific Islander Implementation Pilot Projects (API IPPs) and their local evaluators to support the development/refinement of local evaluation approaches and plans. We aim to specify processes that ensure community stakeholders are engaged in the entire evaluation process and that evaluation is culturally and linguistically appropriate as well as considerate of multiple identities of individuals served by IPPs (i.e. cross-population issues). We have outlined broad benchmarks that allow the API TAP team to coordinate technical assistance (TA) and trainings to support the API IPPs throughout the stages of implementation. However, we understand that with any complex multi-year project, flexibility and responsiveness to the needs of IPPs as they evolve over the course of the project will be essential to the success of CRDP.

Phase 2 Statewide Evaluation Guidelines 2017

CRDP

2017

CDPH launched the CRDP in 2009 in response to a call for national action to reduce mental health disparities. Phase 1 identified issues and recommendations for five historically underserved populations—African Americans; Asian and Pacific Islanders; Latinos; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ); and American Indian/Alaska Native. A Strategic Planning Workgroup (SPW) was established for each priority population. These planning groups identified promising CDEP elements and strategies along with recommendations for reducing mental health disparities in their respective constituencies. These were summarized in five population reports and compiled into a single, comprehensive CRDP strategic plan that informed the basis of Phase 2.
