Interpersonal Care, Language Concordance and Health Outcomes among Rural Latinos with Diabetes
This study of Spanish-speaking rural Latinos with diabetes finds that Spanish fluency is independently associated with better patient interpersonal care ratings. Interpersonal care ratings were not associated with diabetes self-care behaviors, intermediate outcomes and recommended processes of care. Language access programs enhance patient-centered care.
