P-values were calculated using a generalized linear mixed model to adjust for clustering by site

Only providers who reported seeing Latino patients were included in this analysis. The rest were excluded (n=108).

Categories are not mutually exclusive. Separate questions were asked about access to on-site and telephone-based interpretation services, so respondents could report access to both. Separate questions were also asked about history of cultural competency training and respondent’s center’s access to cultural competency training.
