Using ADAPT-ITT to Enhance the Cultural Relevancy, Reach and Efficacy of Evidence Based Interventions
Speaker: Gina Wingood, ScD, MPH, Sidney and Helaine Lerner Professor of Public Health Promotion, Department of Socialmedical Sciences, Columbia University Irving Medical Center
Informed by her many decades of working on developing, evaluating, disseminating and scaling evidence-based interventions to promote health equity, Dr. Wingood will discuss development and application of the ADAPT-ITT model that can be used to inform cultural and contextual adaptations to evidence-based interventions. The goal of the model is to help enhance the cultural relevance, acceptability, reach, and efficacy of evidence-based interventions for a range of diverse settings and populations. Examples will be provided in the context of HIV prevention and Dr. Wingood's work nationally and globally in health equity and implementation science.
