Knowledge of Interpreter Rights and Medication Delays in Diabetes Care
To examine the association between knowledge of interpreter rights and diabetes care quality and health care utilization among adults with non-English language preference (NELP) in California. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using pooled data from the 2015–2024 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). The study included adults with NELP, self-reported diabetes, and a usual source of care. The primary exposure was self-reported knowledge…
Knowledge of Medical Interpretation Rights Among Individuals With Non-English Language Preference
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to identify demographic, acculturation, and health care factors associated with self-reported knowledge of the right to medical interpretation among individuals with non-English language preference (NELP) in California. BACKGROUND: NELP is a significant social determinant of health contributing to adverse health outcomes through barriers in communication, limited health literacy, and biases in care delivery. The ability of pa…
Lessons learned from a multi-site collaborative working toward a digital health use screening tool
Digital health has the potential to expand health care and improve outcomes for patients—particularly for those with challenges to accessing in-person care. The acceleration of digital health (and particularly telemedicine) prompted by the Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic facilitated continuity of care in some settings but left many health systems ill-prepared to address digital uptake among patients from underserved backgrounds, who already ex…
Opportunities and Risks for Telehealth in Advancing Health Equity in Academic Medicine
Academic medical centers (AMCs) have a long history of providing care to underserved communities. As telehealth has rapidly grown, AMCs are exploring how it can improve health care access and equity. Yet there is a risk that telehealth exacerbates existing disparities and has done so already with the growing “digital divide.”1 To achieve the promise of telehealth while avoiding the risks, it must be implemented with a health equity focus
Racial and Ethnic Differences in Telemedicine Use
The results of this cross-sectional study of US Medicare enrollees suggest that although nationally, Black individuals, Hispanic individuals, and individuals of other racial groups received more telemedicine visits during the pandemic and disproportionately lived in geographic regions with higher telemedicine use, after controlling for geographic region, Black individuals, Hispanic individuals, and individuals of other racial groups received fewe…
The Expanding Digital Divide
Non–English Language Availability of Community Health Center Websites
BACKGROUND: For limited English-proficient (LEP) patients, the digital divide has narrowed, creating a new population of Internet users. However, language-appropriate health information is difficult to find. Community health center (CHC) websites are health information resources and their homepages are critical access points for patients. CHCs supported by Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) care for many LEP patients. OBJECTIVE: …
Using Publicly Available Data to Understand the Opioid Overdose Epidemic
Objectives. To use publicly available, crowdsourced data to understand geospatial trends in discarded needles. Methods. We completed multiple geospatial analyses of discarded needles reported through the Boston, Massachusetts, 311 service request system. Results. Between May 2015 and August 2017, 4763 discarded needles were reported. The highest concentration of needles were reported in census block groups in the South End and Roxbury neighborhoo…
