This project seeks to answer the question: How can the MN Asthma Program be more culturally responsive to non-dominant communities? MDH will be building an enduring a relationship with St. Paul’s Latino community and will have an intervention designed to have the greatest impact for this population. MDH will leverage the community ties using alternatively funded projects to implement the plan. This Quick Call seeks to engage a contractor with experience working with Latino communities to engage individuals with lived experience in the community, business owners, and members of organizations working to improve community conditions through services and activism. Using qualitative study methods, the contractor will answer the question in the paragraph above. The contractor will use the qualitative findings to come up with recommendations for an asthma program at La Clinica tailored to leverage strengths and local resources. The program starts as soon as a contractor is selected and a contract signed. Once begun, the contractor’s work should be completed within three months.
