• What collaborations do we have in place to help access employers?
• What do we need to cultivate in order to access employers in our communities?
Using Complementary Strategies
Erica SchmitzMESAP
Building a Logic Model
1. Choose a priority problem to focus on
2. Record intervening variables that have been identified as priorities
3. Choose potential types of strategies to address intervening variables
4. Consider cultural competence issues
5. Add/subtract strategies to develop a more comprehensive approach

Cultural Competency Considerations
1. Is the target population involved in the design of interventions?
2. Is your intervention responsive to the population you have targeted and how do you know?
3. Does the implementing organization (s) understand the shared values, attitudes, and beliefs of the community or population that is being targeted?
4. Does the organization (s) have the resources needed to deliver culturally competent strategies?
5. Is information shared in a manner that is appropriate and understandable?
Poster Session
