SCIENCE-BASED    CULTURALLY COMPETENT

Our programs are backed by scientific evidence and have been developed from research-tested intervention programs shown to promote healthy behaviors. Quality and credibility are ensured through the active participation of our advisory board members and medical editorial board.  We are committed to continually challenging our programs with rigorous research with clear quality, utilization, and cost benefit measures.

Cultural competence is much more than language specificity. Translating English programs into other languages  does not address the need for cultural appropriateness, which is a critical component to motivate employees to make healthy lifestyle changes.  Cultural competence acknowledges and understands cultural diversity. Coupled with the science of health education and behavior change, this approach improves employee participation and positively impacts health behaviors.

Our materials are developed by native speakers who understand the subtleties of language and cultural differences. All Diversity Wellness program content has been developed and reviewed under the guidance of our scientific and medical advisory board comprised of university researchers, clinicians, and community-based health educators with extensive health promotion experience among diverse populations.
