Health care usage by Hispanic outpatients as function of primary language. Abstract Text:

Three groups of Hispanic patients at five outpatient clinics in San Diego County, California, participated in a survey questionnaire concerning health care usage according to whether they were Spanish-speaking only, bilingual with Spanish as a primary language or primarily English speaking. Although the three groups were similar in age and income distribution, the use of health services (regular source of health care, health insurance, admission to hospital and frequency of general physical, eye and dental examinations) was positively correlated with increased use of English. Likewise, respondents whose primary language was English were more likely to describe their health care as more than adequate and their own health as excellent than were those whose primary language was Spanish.
