10. Cultural Considerations
in the Selection Process
ā¢ Is it important to have someone with
cross cultural training on an interview
panel to evaluate responses through a
cultural lens?
ā¢ Should an organization have a different
interview guide for people whose mother
tongue is not English?
ā¢ How can questions be structured so as
not to screen out candidates who
emphasize team accomplishments over
individual accomplishments?
13. Organizations are required to
take reasonable steps to ensure
meaningful access to their
programs and activities by LEP
persons.
ā¢ The Guidance explains that the obligation
to provide meaningful access is fact-
dependent and starts with an
individualized assessment that balances
four factors:
ā¢ Number or Proportion of LEP Individuals
ā¢ Frequency of Contact With the Program
ā¢ Nature and Importance of the Program
ā¢ Resources Available
The Civil Rights Act
of 1964 says that
no person shall be
excluded from
participation in,
be denied the
benefits of, or be
subjected to
discrimination based
on race, gender,
ethnicity or national
origin under any
program or activity
receiving federal
financial assistance.

22. Interpreting
Services
Studies suggest that English language evaluations of English language
learners may obscure mental-status findings among patients with
schizophrenia and the effects of language proficiency may vary
according to symptom type (Bauer & Alegria).
Only 48% of Spanish-speaking immigrants who required interpreter
services during their health care visits said they usually had one.
Furthermore, from those receiving interpreter services, only 70%
fully understood what the doctor was saying (Doty).
24. Trained Interpreters
ā¢ Accurately
interpreted most
(74%) of the
conversation
(Range: 47%-98%)
ā¢ Had higher accuracy
during nontechnical
portions
of the discussion in
comparison with the
technical portions.
