Moss, Tamarah; Crewe, Sandra Edmonds
- Abstract
This chapter presents the Black Perspective Health Evaluation (BPHE) framework as a cultural lens for conducting evaluations with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FHQC). The consideration of the health encounter as a cultural encounter is central. The evaluator has a role in advocating for social justice and igniting change in health outcomes for marginalized and vulnerable populations served by FHQCs. The six principles of the Howard University School of Social Work's Black Perspective: (1) affirmation, (2) strengths, (3) vivification, (4) diversity, (5) internationalization, and (6) social justice are featured to inform the approach to address persistent health disparities faced by African Americans and peoples of the African Diaspora. The BPHE Checklist template, provides three steps in using the framework including the importance of dissemination of findings. The authors, both social workers, focus on dignity and respect to ensure successful interventions that promote positive health outcomes.
