CLAS Standards Training
The Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) Standards Training
The training is designed to equip public health professionals with the essential knowledge and tools for delivering culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate services and messages throughout the community.
CLAS Standards Plays a Crucial Role in Addressing:
-
Health disparities in the community and bridging the gaps.
-
Promoting health equity and increasing access to services.
-
Ensuring that everyone, regardless of their cultural background or language proficiency, has access to public health information and services that are easy to understand, provides effective messaging, and is respectful to their unique needs.
Public Health Professionals can use the CLAS toolkit to evaluate health education materials like flyers, brochures, PowerPoint, and more! The training focuses on how the materials are organized, writing style, appearance, appeal, translation, reading level, and accessibility.
