Quality of Care for Latinx Children with Asthma: Associations with Language Concordance and Continuity of Care

English-preferring Latinx children with persistent asthma received fewer inhaled steroid prescriptions compared with non-Hispanic White children. Panel chart review and seeing a practice partner might be one way to combat these inequities.
