National Standards for Culturally and
Linguistically Appropriate Services
(CLAS) in Health and Health Care:
Evaluation of Awareness, Adoption, and
Implementation
Abstract: The Office of Minority
Health (OMH), Office of the Secretary
(OS), Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is requesting a new
approval from OMB for data collection
on an evaluation project entitled
‘‘National Standards for Culturally and
Linguistically Appropriate Services
(CLAS) in Health and Health Care:
Evaluation of Awareness, Adoption, and
Implementation.’’ The purpose of this
assessment is to systematically describe
and examine the awareness, knowledge,
adoption, and implementation of the
HHS OMH’s National Standards for
Culturally and Linguistically
Appropriate Services in Health and
Health Care (hereafter referred to as the
National CLAS Standards) in a sample
of health and health care organizations,
and to use the resultant data to develop
a preliminary, model of implementation
to guide organizational adoption and
implementation of the National CLAS
Standards. Originally released in 2001,
the HHS OMH’s National CLAS
Standards are a set of recommended
action steps intended to advance health
equity, improve quality, and help
eliminate health care disparities. The
National CLAS Standards, revised in
2013, are comprised of 15 Standards
that provide health and health care
organizations with a blueprint for
successfully implementing and
maintaining culturally and linguistically
appropriate services.
Despite increased recognition of the
National CLAS Standards as a
fundamental tool for health and health
care organizations to use in their efforts
to become more culturally and
linguistically competent, neither the
original nor the enhanced National
CLAS Standards have been
systematically evaluated in terms of
public awareness, organizational

Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 1994 1
and 1998.2 These committees
recommended that DRIs for adequacy be
expressed as Estimated Average
Requirements (EARs) and
Recommended Dietary Allowances
(RDAs, representing 97.5% of
population requirements). They also
recommended that reference values for
Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs) be
included in future DRI evaluations.
Additionally, the 1994 IOM committee
concluded that future RDA processes
(now called DRIs) should include the
concept of chronic disease risk
reduction in addition to the classical
nutrient deficiency endpoints. The
approaches recommended by the 1994
and 1998 committees were applied,
with a few additions (e.g., Adequate
Intakes, Acceptable Macronutrient
Distribution Ranges), for all seven of the
DRI reviews published from 1997 to
2011. These reports can be accessed at
