Abstract

With the aim of addressing inequalities and disparities in health care access and outcomes, in 2001 the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health (OMH) established National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS). In 2010 the OMH solicited public, private and government input which was incorporated into the Enhanced National CLAS Standards. To date there have been no formal reviews of the published literature on the CLAS Standards. The aim of this scoping review was to identify the scientific and professional literature related to the CLAS standards and describe the content, focus, conceptualization and application of these publications, with the goal of providing insights and directions for further research and application of the CLAS standards.
