Non-English speakers may face several challenges, including:
- Limited Access to Information: They may have difficulty accessing health information that is predominantly available in English. - Misunderstanding Medical Terms: Complex medical terminology can be confusing even for native speakers, and translating these terms accurately can be challenging. - Cultural Differences: Cultural perceptions of health and disease can influence how non-English speakers respond to public health messages. - Trust Issues: Non-English speakers may have mistrust towards healthcare systems, especially if they have faced discrimination or have had negative experiences in the past.
