“…White, African American, and native‐speaking Hispanic CHWs, and a trained native‐speaking bilingual/bicultural linguistic Spanish professor reviewed the revised instrument for consistency. To ensure meaningful translation and produce a semantically equivalent translated study instrument that was sensitive to the cultural linguistics of the target population , the researchers ensured that the instrument was revised, and back translated by a bilingual/bicultural native‐speaking CHW and Spanish‐speaking bilingual nursing student with a Spanish major. The current KFB scale used in this study has an alpha coefficient of 0.88 for the 17 questions derived on the sample reported in this study.…”

“…To complement this, statements that were regarded as typical or representative of a theme are presented. Following the current “gold standard” for translation technique we followed the double translation process (Arevalo-Flechas, 2009 ; Medrano et al, 2010 ).…”

Clustering Latinos under a single group in Alzheimer Disease (AD) research, neglects, among other things cultural and environmental differences. To address this, we examine knowledge and attitudes about AD among two Latino groups. We held 5 focus groups and 2 interviews all in Spanish with Mexicans and Puerto Ricans between 40 and 60 years old living in the Grand Rapids area in Michigan. Using content analysis of the discussions, we identified themes related to knowledge, attitudes and concerns about AD and caregiving. A total of 20 Mexicans and 9 Puerto Ricans participated. Improving knowledge and awareness, barriers and home-based family care were important themes in both Latino groups. Puerto Rican groups raised more concerns about the disease, whereas lack of knowledge was a key theme among Mexican participants. The exploratory study is a first step in promoting research that is attentive to the commonalities and differences of Latino groups and in continuing efforts to enhance health literacy among these groups.

“…Two bilingual/bicultural translators (PI and co-moderator) agreed on all translations. The translation was for meaning (Espocito, 2001) and conducted by the PI who is familiar with the culture and language (Medrano et al, 2010). The first step was to select unit categories after major headings from the HLM as described by Zarcadoolas et al (2006).…”

Background: Health literacy is a requisite skill for making personal health and health care decisions. Low health literacy may contribute to lower cervical cancer screening rates and cervical cancer health disparities among Mexican-American women in South Texas. Objective: To explore older Mexican-American women's health literacy related to cervical cancer from the perspective of Zarcadoolas, Pleaseant, and Greer's health literacy model. Methods: We conducted five focus groups and seven individual interviews with 30 Mexican and Mexican-American women in South Texas. We analyzed demographic data using descriptive statistics and conducted thematic analysis of focus group and individual interview data. Key Results: Several themes reflected the domains of health literacy, including fundamental literacy (“speaking of language”), science literacy (cancer prevention), cultural literacy (“we are different”), civic literacy (the availability of “consejos” [advice]), and media literacy (e.g., “telenovelas” [soap-operas] teach a lot). In this article, we present findings related to culture and language under the domains of fundamental and cultural literacy. Conclusions: Mexican-American women's cultural values and language use may serve as both deterrents and incentives to cervical cancer screening. The meaning of words can be lost in translations. Health care providers can use this information to provide cervical cancer screening education congruent with Mexican-American's culture, language, and code switching. [ HLRP: Health Literacy Research and Practice . 2019;3(1):e1–e8.] Plain Language Summary: The understanding of culture and language can help health care providers improve cervical cancer screening practices among Mexican-American women. The results from this study can be used to individualize patient care and to develop education and communication strategies that are similar to the population we serve, including Mexican-American women.
