  There were differences in computer literacy by language such that participants with Spanish as their primary language reported lower computer literacy than participants with English as their primary language. A computer literacy composite score was created by summing participants’ ability to complete tasks in Questions 4 through 17. The difference between the both language groups was then explored. Out of a possible 14 points, participants with Spanish as their primary language scored 10.4 on average while participants with English as their primary language scored 12.8. See Table 4 for means by R&R agency and participant primary language.
