Patient-physician language concordance and use of preventive care services among limited english proficient latinos and asians.

CONCLUSIONS: Patient-physician language concordance was not associated with higher use of mammography, CRC screening, or influenza vaccination. Language concordance was negatively associated with CRC screening among Asians for reasons that require further research. Future research should isolate the impact of language concordance on the use of preventive care services from health system factors. PMID: 25729102 [PubMed - in process]
