The California Endowment conducted a poll on language access and use of
in-language media in health. The poll, conducted by noted Spanish language
pollster Sergio Bendixen, is the first ever to study the role of language
barriers in health care as reported by immigrants. The poll was conducted
in 11 languages and dialects, including Armenian, Cantonese, Mandarin,
Cambodian, Hmong, Korean, Iranian, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog and
Vietnamese. To obtain a copy of the press release and poll results, contact
