Medical Home Disparities for Latino Children by Parental Language of Interview

Author: DeCamp, Lisa Ross
Date Published: 2011

Most children with a Spanish-language parental interview had a usual source of care, but only one-quarter had a medical home. Lack of a medical home was associated with disparities in the quality of care, more so than access disparities.
