Abstract

This Issue Brief explores cultural competence. Employing the data base from the large-scale Medicaid contract analysis conducted annually by the Center for Health Services Research and Policy (CHSRP) (now CHPR), we examine the approaches that state agencies take in implementing the concept of cultural competence in the design and implementation of their managed care systems.
