Description

*Proposal: This study assessed parents� impressions of staff cultural and linguistic competence in 23 families who attend an urban, ethnically diverse center serving individuals with developmental disabilities, using cultural competency items from the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey (English and Spanish). The majority of parents understood medical explanations and trusted their providers, but gaps were identified, especially in those using translation services.
