The present work experimentally examines whether a Spanish-speaking healthcare provider (an identity safety cue) increases the anticipated quality of care and healthcare utilization intentions of Latinx Americans ( N = 180) and whether this effect is moderated by ethnic centrality. We find that providing Spanish-language services, versus not, on a healthcare facility's webpage significantly increases both anticipated quality of care and healthcare utilization intentions-but only for Latinx Americans who perceive their ethnicity as highly central to their self-concept. Likewise, we find that anticipated quality of care mediates the effect that identity safety cues have on healthcare utilization intentions only for Latinx Americans high on ethnic centrality. These findings demonstrate that members of minoritized ethnic groups shown to be the most susceptible to experiencing concerns of discrimination (people high on ethnic centrality) are also the most likely to benefit from identity safety cues that are designed to mitigate these very concerns
