We want to learn about how patients whose primary language is not English feel about using medical interpreters in U.S. hospitals or clinics. We will ask them about how well they were able to talk with their doctors and how they felt about the hospital with or without interpreter services.
You will be asked to complete a 15-20 minute anonymous online survey about your communication experiences with doctors and interpreters in a hospital setting. Alternatively, you may choose to participate in a 45-60 minute interview conducted in Korean via Zoom. Interview participants will be asked to share their personal stories and opinions about interpreter services and provider communication.
Survey participants may enter a raffle for a $10 Amazon gift card; interview participants will receive a $30 Amazon gift card.
Requirements for healthy volunteers are different than for those with a specific condition. If you are interested in becoming a healthy volunteer for this study, use the below categories to determine if you are able to participate.
