To achieve equity for refugee patients in mental health care settings, patient-centered, trauma-informed, and cultural humility practices have gained recognition; however, the use of these practices is not well defined. The implementation process of these practices may require providers' increased self-efficacy, motivation, and cultural intelligence (CQ). Overall, this study aims to understand training needs of health care providers to be able to provide refugee patients with culturally meaningful, patient-centered, and trauma-informed care.

- - This study explores unique behaviors of early modern humans during Africa's Middle Stone Age, particularly at the archaeological site Varsche Rivier 003 (VR003), dated to 92-80,000 years ago.
- - Key innovations at VR003 include ostrich eggshell tools, long-distance transport of marine mollusks, and advanced stone tool production, which are not found in wetter regions nearby at that time.
- - These innovations coincide with a period of favorable climate conditions, but they vanished as winter rainfall increased, suggesting that environmental changes significantly influenced cultural and technological developments in early human societies.

This is important as research has established a link between certain motivations and adverse outcomes.
