“…Participant characteristics, however, match that of the
larger clinic population, and these mothers, although perhaps distinct in their
ability to commit to meeting attendance, are low-income, immigrant women who do not
speak English well and in general have limited education. Board members report
similar values for pediatric primary care as LEP Latina mothers in prior research
and the improvements suggested for the clinic are also similar to reported
shortcomings of pediatric primary care for this population in other settings (Arauz Boudreau et al, 2010; Brousseau, Hoffmann, Yauck, Nattinger, & Flores,
2005; Clark, 2002; Clark & Redman, 2007; Coker, Chung, Cowgill, Chen, & Rodriguez, 2009; DeCamp et al, 2013; Sobo, Seid, & Reyes Gelhard, 2006). Thus, the pediatric
primary care experiences of board members may reflect that of other LEP Latina
parents at the clinic and across the United States.…”
