Description
Our research explores how language shapes communication, trust, and experiences of care.
We study language barriers, language concordance, interpreter use, and multilingual care to identify opportunities to strengthen patient–clinician relationships and create more equitable, inclusive health care for patients who communicate in languages other than English.
