National Ambulatory Medical Care
Survey Supplement on Culturally and
Linguistically Appropriate Services
(NAMCS CLAS)—New—National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
As the population of the United States
becomes increasingly diverse, it is
important that health care providers
deliver culturally and linguistically
competent services. Culturally and
linguistically appropriate services
(CLAS) are respectful of and responsive
to individual cultural health beliefs and
practices, preferred languages, health
literacy levels, and communication
needs. The National CLAS Standards in
Health and Health Care were established
in 2000 by the Office of Minority Health
(OMH), Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) to advance
health equity, improve quality, and
eliminate health care disparities. In
2013, OMH published the Enhanced
Standards for CLAS in Health and
Health Care to revise the National CLAS
Standards in order to reflect
advancements made since 2000, expand
their scope and improve their clarity to
ensure better understanding and
implementation. Although there has
been increased awareness and efforts to
train culturally and linguistically
competent health care providers, there
has not been a systematic evaluation of
the level of adoption or implementation
of the National CLAS Standards among
physicians. Due to the limited
understanding of how the Standards are
adopted and implemented, it is difficult
to know what goals have been achieved
and which need more work.

OMH came to NCHS’ Division of
Health Care Statistics with this project
because of our expertise collecting data
from physicians in the National
Ambulatory Medical Care Survey
(NAMCS). The NAMCS CLAS project
meets two of the Division’s missions:
conduct multidisciplinary research
directed towards development of new
scientific knowledge on the provision,
use, quality, and appropriateness of
ambulatory care; and develop and
sustain collaborative partnerships
internally within DHHS and externally
with public, private, domestic and
international entities on health care
statistics programs. The purpose of the
NAMCS CLAS survey is to describe the
awareness, training, adoption, and
implementation of the Enhanced
Standards for CLAS in Health and
Health Care among office-based
physicians. The information will be
collected directly from physician
respondents through an online survey,
paper form or telephone administration.
Telephone interviews will be the
follow-up alternative for nonrespondents. Information that will be
collected includes demographic
information, specialty, number of years
the physician has provided direct
patient care, training related to cultural
competency and the National CLAS
Standards, provision of CLAS to
patients, organizational characteristics
that aided or hindered provision of
CLAS, and awareness of the National
CLAS Standards.
The target universe of the NAMCS
CLAS includes non-federally employed
physicians who were classified by the
American Medical Association (AMA)
or the American Osteopathic
Association (AOA) as providing ‘‘officebased, patient care.’’ The target universe
excludes physicians in the specialties of
anesthesiology, radiology, and
pathology. The survey sample of 2,400
physicians will be used as the basis to
provide regional and national estimates.
Participation in the NAMCS CLAS is
voluntary. There will be no financial
incentive to participate. A one-year
approval will be requested.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 676.
