LEP patients can achieve medication adherence comparable to or better than English-speaking patients when care is language-concordant

Narrative synthesis #

LEP patients (notably Nepali-speaking refugees served by a concordant bilingual physician) matched or exceeded English-preference patients on adherence measures.

"LEP patients could have improved outcomes in their adherence to medications by having providers who speak their language or use an interpreter." (Kahler, 2022, p. 31)
