Abstract

There is limited research regarding interpretation services training and its benefit in contact tracing programs. This study seeks to assess the impact of optional formal interpretation services training on contact tracers and identify specific barriers tracers face when contacting patients with limited English proficiency, who have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
