Students will identify theory-informed methods and practical applications for those methods, including the delivery characteristics and modes (i.e., online, in-person) for intervention delivery that consider culturally relevant program materials. Students will learn logic models for program evaluation and understand the value of considering intervention sustainability at each stage of program development.
