Research: Cultural and Linguistic Competence Checklist for MCH Training Programs

This resource presents a comprehensive research-focused cultural and linguistic competence checklist developed by Georgetown University’s National Center for Cultural Competence (NCCC) specifically for Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Training Programs funded by The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The document provides a detailed framework with nine key areas for faculty and staff to integrate cultural and linguistic competency into research practices. The checklist serves as a self-assessment tool to help MCH training programs examine their research practices, identify gaps in cultural competence, and facilitate organizational change to better serve diverse populations while addressing health disparities and promoting health equity in maternal and child health research.
