Abstract	The purpose of this evidence-based practice project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a pilot mental health knowledge questionnaire tool used to assess for change in knowledge. Currently, there are limited tools being used to assess mental health and depression knowledge in vulnerable communities. This study's objective and goal is to improve the current practice for community mental health education in vulnerable communities with the intent to increase awareness and dispel cultural misconception of mental health. A self-reported pre-test was administered to assess baseline knowledge of mental health and depression followed by the educational program on mental health and depression.
