AB  - The U.S. Latino population is steadily increasing, prompting a need for 
      cross-cultural outcome measures in schizophrenia research. This study examined 
      the contribution of language to functional assessment in middle-aged Latino 
      patients with schizophrenia by comparing 29 monolingual Spanish-speakers, 29 
      Latino English-speakers, and 29 non-Latino English-speakers who were matched on 
      relevant demographic variables and who completed cognitive and functional 
      assessments in their native language. There were no statistically significant 
      differences between groups on the four everyday functioning variables (UCSD 
      Performance-Based Skills Assessment [UPSA], Social Skills Performance Assessment 
      [SSPA], Medication Management Ability Assessment [MMAA], and the Global 
      Assessment of Functioning [GAF]). The results support the cross-linguistic and 
      cross-cultural acceptability of these functional assessment instruments. It 
      appears that demographic variables other than language (e.g., age, education) 
      better explain differences in functional assessment among ethnically diverse 
      subpopulations. Considering the influence of these other factors in addition to 
      language on functional assessments will help ensure that measures can be 
      appropriately interpreted among the diverse residents of the United States.
