Trauma and other disaster mental health outcomes have been well-studied, especially in the short-term aftermath of disaster. However, there is limited knowledge on the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions for those living in marginalized communities. There is a pressing need for culturally adapted disaster mental health interventions along the Gulf Coast, which frequently experience hurricanes and other disasters. Panelists will discuss projects that use implementation science to deploy culturally adapted, evidence-based interventions for at-risk groups, including African American communities in Baton Rouge, Black pregnant women in East Baton Rouge Parish, and Hispanic/Latino neighborhoods in Houston.
