Evaluation of PRIME

Description: Partners Reaching to Improve Multicultural Effectiveness (PRIME) is an intensive training model, which aims to reduce culturally-based disparities. PRIME will train agency teams of a supervisor, direct care/consumer staff, as well as psychiatrists, and agency, county and managed care organization administrators who support trainees in their work. Application of knowledge and skills to agency settings is emphasized. Improving trainee competence and service outcomes are expected program goals.

This is a collaborative project with Pennsylvania Office of Mental health and Substance Abuse (OMHSAS); Division of Behavioral Healthcare Education, MCP Hahnemann School of Medicine, Drexel University; Multicultural Training and Research Institute (MTRI), School of Social Administration, Temple University; and Social Work Mental Health Research Center, School of Social Work, University of Pennsylvania. We at Penn are conducting a process and outcome evaluation of the training.
