Jose is a 56-year-old Hispanic male who has been arrested for a DUI. This is his first arrest, and you are the DUI assessor who has been appointed to evaluate him. You have been told thatJose has been in the United Statesfor about six months and that his English is fair, but in case of translation difficulties, an interpreter is present. When you enter the room with the interpreter, Jose makes eye contact with the interpreter, but not with you. In answer to your questions, Jose seems friendly, but brief.

1. How would you help Jose feel more comfortable in the session?

2. How would you use the interpreter to facilitate the session discussion?

3. What kinds of approaches would you take to facilitate Jose's answering your questions about his drinking?

4. Are there any other individuals you may need to contact about Jose's drinking? If so, who might they be and how might you contact them?
