The 2016 National Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services Survey for Office-based Physicians was sponsored and funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health. It was conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics as a supplement to the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey. Data collection was conducted by SRA International.

Data file creation at the National Center for Health Statistics was completed by Kai Kang, Titi Okeyode, Thomas Socey, and Roberto Valverde. Analytic assistance was provided by Christopher Cairns. Statistical consultation was provided by Rebecca Hu, Van Parsons, Morgan Earp, Iris Shimizu, Roberto Valverde, and Guangyu Zhang. The report was edited and produced by National Center for Health Statistics' Office of Information Services, Information Design and Publishing staff: editor Danielle Taylor and typesetter and designer Michael W. Jones (contractor). Finally, the authors extend their appreciation to the physicians who participated in the survey.
