Pdf Summary

This document provides information about the Self-Assessment for Modification of Anti-Racism Tool (SMART), which is aimed at addressing structural racism in community mental health. The authors discuss the rationale for a structured tool like SMART, emphasizing the need to replace subjective impressions with actionable information and to focus on organizational processes rather than individuals. The SMART tool consists of five domains: Hiring, Recruitment, Retention, and Promotion; Clinical Care; Workplace Culture; Community Advocacy; and Population Health Outcomes/Evaluation. Examples of items within each domain are provided. The authors recommend a process for using the SMART tool, which includes group conversations for self-assessment, consensus scoring, and generating an action plan for improvement. They also mention the importance of reassessing in 6-12 months. The document concludes with references and information about how to claim credits for attending the virtual event.
