Please read on for details about a cultural validation and translation webinar recently co-hosted by NACCHO's Refugee, Immigrant and Migrant Team.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical need for linguistically accessible and culturally appropriate health information to reduce health disparities and contribute to equitable health outcomes. Join this webinar where panelists will discuss cultural validation (CV) - an intentional practice that includes refugee, immigrant, and migrant communities in producing tailored and meaningful messaging.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Define cultural validation and translation review
