Behavioral Health Disparities Impact Statement (BHDIS)

Tuesday, March 17, 2020

2:00pm - 3:30pm PST

Please join the Community Prevention Initiative (CPI) for a webinar introducing Behavioral Health Disparities Impact Statements.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, health disparities are preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or opportunities to achieve optimal health that are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations. A data-driven BHDIS is an effective method to ensure behavioral health professionals address health disparities through program design, implementation, and evaluation.

This webinar will provide an overview of health disparities, define BHDIS, and present the steps on how to develop a BHDIS.  This webinar is intended for anyone interested in learning more about the BHDIS, including behavioral health and health care professionals; non-profit staff and administrators; county staff; program directors; project managers; evaluators; and others.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the basics of health disparities.
  • Learn the importance of the BHDIS and what BHDIS accomplishes.
  • Understand the required components of a BHDIS.
