Implementing culturally and linguistically appropriate services help individuals and organizations respond to the demographic changes in the U.S., reduce health disparities, improve the quality of services, meet legislative, regulatory, and accreditation mandates, gain a competitive edge in the market place, and decrease the likelihood of liability. The National CLAS Standards provide a blueprint for individuals and health and health care organizations to best serve our nation's increasingly diverse communities through culturally and linguistically appropriate services.

Research Publications & Data Resources
University of New Hampshire Carsey School of Public Policy Issue Brief - Child Poverty Higher and More Persistent in Rural America
The negative consequences of growing up in a poor family are well known. Less understood is how the experience of poverty can differ depending on the community context. Being poor in a relatively well-off community with good infrastructure and schools is different from being poor in a place
where poverty rates have been high for generations, where economic investment in schools and infrastructure is negligible, and where pathways to success are few. The hurdles are even higher in rural areas, where low population density, physical isolation, and the broad spatial distribution of the poor make service delivery and exposure to innovative programs more challenging.
