Abstract

Recent demographic changes in the United States are requiring health care workers to serve patients, particularly Hispanics, who do not speak English. This is true for the state of Utah as well Citing Immigration and Naturalization Service data, Wright (1993) reported that the number of Mexican immigrants who do not speak English has greatly increased in Utah. This study was conducted in order to determine the needs for interpretation/ translation services in Utah health care facilities.
