Your last case of the day is a 6 y.o. Hispanic male
referred by the school nurse because of a fever
of 400C. His mother accompanies the patient but
does not speak English. The patient speaks and
understands both English & Spanish. Your only
on-site trained interpreter left for the day and
you only know a few words in Spanish.
What are your next steps?
Culturally Effective Care
Culturally Effective Care
“The delivery of care within the context of appropriate
physician knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of
cultural distinctions. Such understanding should take
into account the beliefs, values, actions, customs and
unique health care needs of distinct population groups.
Providers will thus enhance interpersonal and
communication skills, thereby strengthening the
physician-patient relationship and maximizing the health
status of patients”.

Case Study #1
Your last case of the day is a 6 y.o. Hispanic male
referred by the school nurse because of a fever
of 400C. His mother accompanies the patient but
does not speak English. The patient speaks and
understands both English & Spanish. The only
on-site trained interpreter left for the day and
you only know a few words in Spanish.
What are your next steps?
Linguistic Barriers
Studies have documented the multiplicity of
adverse effects that language barriers
have in health care including:
– Impaired health status, nonadherence to
medication regiments, higher resource use for
diagnostic testing and others
Flores G: Dolor Aqui? Fiebre?: Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med; Vol156, 638-640; 2002
Linguistic Barriers
One study identified language problems as
the single greatest barrier to health care
access for Latino children.
Flores G and Abreau M: Access Barriers to Health Care for Latino Children; Arch Pediatr Adolesc
Med, Vol 152(11), 1119-1125; 1998
Interpretive Services
 Medical interpreter as an essential
component of effective communication
between the limited English proficient
(LEP) patient and health care provider
 Professional in-house, ad hoc, untrained
family member, non-clinical hospital
employee, stranger
 Untrained commit many errors
Flores G et at.: Errors in Medical Interpretation and Their Potential Clinical Consequences. Pediatrics;
Vol 111(1); 6-14; 2003
Clinically Significant Medical Errors
 Omissions
– Drug allergies
– Past medical history
– Chief complaint
 Substitutions
– Abx for 2 days instead of 10
– HC to entire body instead of lesion

Case #2
You have been treating a 7 year old with
severe and poorly controlled asthma. The
parents refuse to use the inhaled steroids
as prescribed and continue to rely on
traditional medicine.
What are the next steps in managing this
patient?
Asthma Disparities:
More than Access Barriers
 African American and Latino children
enrolled in Medicaid managed care had
worse asthma status and were less likely
to be using preventive asthma medications
than White children.
 This disparity persisted after adjusting for
socioeconomic status.
Lieu T et al.: Ethnic Variation in Asthma Status and Management Practices Among Children in
Managed Medicaid; Pediatrics 109(5);
857-865; 2002
Sociocultural Determinants
of Health
 Parental and child health beliefs
 Knowledge of asthma and asthma
management
 Competition with other basic life needs
 Environmental factors
– Can parents afford to control the
environmental triggers?
Mansour M et al.: Barriers to Asthma Care in Urban Children: Parent Perspectives. Pediatrics
106(3);512-519
Sociocultural Determinants
of Health
 Racial and ethnic differences in health
beliefs and concepts of disease
 Differences in beliefs about the value of
prevention
 Fears about steroids
 Lack of regularity in the life of the family
Lieu T et al.: Ethnic Variation in Asthma Status and Management Practices Among Children in
Managed Medicaid; Pediatrics 109(5);
857-865; 2002
Understanding Pediatric
Asthma Disparities
While the control and treatment for asthma
is primarily based on medications, some
parents have strong personal and cultural
beliefs against the use of medications.
Belief Systems and Asthma
 60% of Dominican mothers believed that
their child did not have asthma in absence
of symptoms
 88% thought that medicines are overused
in the US
 72% did not use prescribed medicines but
substituted traditional practices instead
Bearison DJ et al.: Medical Management of Asthma and Folk Medicine in a Hispanic Community.
J Pediatr Psychol; 24(4);385-392;2002
Traditional Practices Used in
the Treatment of Asthma
Ethnomedical therapies
– Prayer
– Vicks VapoRub or “alcanfor”
– “Siete jarabes”
– “Agua maravilla”
– “Te de manzanilla”

Final Thoughts
“But culture in all its richness, does not
simply explain health behaviors, nor does
sensitivity to culture solve health
disparities. Rather, culture works
dynamically, in conjunction with economic
and social factors, to affect health
behaviors and to alleviate or exacerbate
health disparities.”

Education. Academic Medicine;2006;81(6);542-547

HEAL: Health Education Adult Health Literacy
Modeled after the Health Education and Literacy for Parents Project at Bellevue Hospital, NYC
Goal:
Improve health literacy of the population
served with a focus on medication
administration
HEAL
• Educational interventions can improve health
knowledge, behaviors and use of healthcare
resources among patients with low health
literacy (HL).
• Interventions must integrate HL with cultural
and linguistic competency
• Interventions must address service needs of
patients and training needs of providers

HEAL: Principles Used
• Partnership model
• Participatory, collaborative process
• Link to existing coalitions,
organizations
Target Population
• All patients in community basedhospital affiliated practices
• Clients served by a Home Visiting
Program ( Best Beginnings/ Alianza
Dominicana)
HEAL Program Objectives
• Objective 1: To develop culturally responsive health
education material regarding medication
administration using the basic tenets of health literacy
• Objective 2: To train pediatric providers, family support
workers, and volunteers to appropriately address low
health literacy in different health care settings
• Objective 3: Implement the HEAL curriculum in health
care organizations and community based
organizations serving the Northern Manhattan
population
Curriculum Development
Purpose of Curriculum:
Increase patient’s involvement in planning care
Enhance patient’s understanding of medication use
Improve patient’s adherence to medical instructions
Teaching Methodology:
Training driven by patient interest and prior
knowledge
Information conveyed in a non didactical method
Curriculum Development: Focus Groups
• Three focus groups in community setting (two
in Spanish/one in English)
• 22 participants
• Domains:
communication, medications, expectations,
physician qualities, clinic qualities and home
remedies.
48
FOCUS GROUPS FINDINGS
Communicating with Doctors
• Explain specific ailments verbally, not with handouts.
• Outline a treatment plan for the family and ask for the family’s input. Give the
family several options
Medications
• General distrust of medications. Fear of overdose and side effects. When they
don’t want to give medicine and use something else instead, they don’t tell the
doctor.
• Want accurate instructions that include a visual and tsp/ml conversion for oral
syringes.
• When they pick out OTCs they ask friends or use previously used OTCs
• When they go to the doctor for a sick visit they expect medication
Home Remedies
• For some, a secondary healing source after western medicine does not work.
Others use when children too small for OTCs
• Some don’t tell doctor about home remedies because it would insult the
doctor/patient relationship. Others don’t tell the doctor because they fear a
negative response
