Culturally Responsive and Equitable Evaluation (CREE)

Culturally Responsive and Equitable Evaluation evaluation is a type of culturally responsive evaluation. It does not consider culture as a subjective factor that needs to be controlled; instead, it explicitly acknowledges culture and context when assessing program effectiveness. Equitable evaluation relies heavily on engaging the very participants with whom the evidence based practice is implemented and from whom evaluation data are collected.  CREE incorporates cultural, structural, and contextual factors (e.g., historical, social, economic, racial, ethnic, gender) using a participatory process that shifts power to individuals most impacted.
