Journal of General Internal Medicine, 10/23/09
Alegria M et al. – US born Latinos had significantly greater patient activation scores than foreign born Latinos (75 versus 70). Latinos classified as bilingual and those reporting excellent health evidenced higher mean activation scores as compared to Spanish–speaking Latinos and those reporting fair or poor health. After adjusting for demographics, health status, other language and service use factors, patient activation was strongly associated with self–reported quality of care and better doctor–patient communication among both US and foreign born Latino respondents. Interventions that augment patient activation could increase quality of care and improved patient–provider communication, potentially reducing health care disparities for Latinos.
