Curriculum adaptation

Effective health promotion programs are developed considering the strengths and needs of communities. Many health promotion curriculums are successful with some communities but not with everyone.

We specialize in adapting curriculums and interventions to serve specific communities, taking into account their culture, language, traditions, and beliefs.
