Dear Colleagues,
I'm pleased to announce that "Research Findings 28: Demographics and
Health Care Access and Utilization of Limited-English-Proficient and
English-Proficient Hispanics" is now available on the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality's web site at:
&&http://www.meps.ahrq.gov/mepsweb/data_stats/Pub_ProdResults_Details.js
p?pt=Research%20Findings&opt=2&id=851
<http://www.meps.ahrq.gov/mepsweb/data_stats/Pub_ProdResults_Details.jsp
?pt=Research%20Findings&opt=2&id=851> . The report compares
limited-English-proficient Hispanic adults to the group most similar to
them, English-proficient Hispanic adults, and also compares
English-proficient Hispanic adults to the white non-Hispanic population.
Key findings include educational and health insurance disparities, as
well as disparities in usual source of care and health care utilization.
