Journal Article
Authors examined changes in health insurance coverage and access to and use of health care among adult (ages 18–64) Latinos in the U.S. before (2007–13) and after (2014–16) implementation of the main provisions of the Affordable Care Act.

Journal Article
Primary care redesign for older adult patients is currently ongoing in countries with aging populations. One of the main challenges of this type of transformations is how to estimate implementation costs in different types of health care delivery organizations. This study compares start‐up and incremental expenses of implementing a primary care redesign across 2 organization types: integrated group (n = 31) practices and independent practice association (IPA) sites (n = 213).

Journal Article
The study analyzed disparities in diabetes care quality and patient experience among 1,053 Latino and Asian community health center (CHC) patients by English language preference. Study authors estimated separate regression models for Latino and Asian patients by English language preference for Clinician & Group-Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and System, Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care, hemoglobin A1c, and self‐reported hypoglycemic events.

Journal Article
Authors examine whether workplace climate-quality of staff relationships (QSR) and manageable clinic workload (MCW) are related to better patient care experiences and diabetes care in community health centers (CHCs) catering to Latino and Chinese patients. Patient experience surveys of adult patients with type 2 diabetes and workplace climate surveys of clinicians and staff from CHCs were included in an analytic sample.

Journal Article
Authors examined the association of patient activation and physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption among obese safety net patients. Adult obese patients of three safety net clinics completed a survey assessing patient activation, physical activity, fruit and vegetable consumption, care experiences, and health status.

Journal Article
The implementation of the ACA (year indicator 2014) is associated with significant reductions in the probabilities of being uninsured, delaying any necessary care, forgoing any necessary care, and a significant increase in the probability of having any physician visits, compared with the reference year 2011 (passage of the ACA).

Journal Article
The authors examine differences in health insurance predictors and investigate the main reported reasons for lacking health insurance coverage between short-stayed (10 years or less) and long-stayed (more than 10 years) U.S. immigrant adults (foreign-born adults ages 18-64 years) to parse the possible consequences of the Affordable Care Act among immigrants by length of stay and documentation status. Health insurance coverage predictors and the main reasons for being uninsured are compared across cohorts and by documentation status.

Journal Article
The author analyzed menu labeling perception and food choices/health behaviors in two public markets in East and South Los Angeles, areas with primarily low-income minority populations that are disproportionately affected by rates of overweight and obesity. The study showed reading labels when shopping was one of the main predictors associated with menu labeling influence.

Journal Article
Latino immigrants spend less on health care than Latinos who are naturalized or U.S.-born and whites but the gap starts to narrow as assimilation occurs. Those are the results of the first study examining health care spending among Latinos by length of U.S. residence and citizenship/nativity status. The study is published in the April issue of Health Services Research.
