“…COVID-19 testing and vaccine uptake were deterred by limited access to healthcare services characterized by limited/no insurance coverage, a strained public health care system, and avoidance of healthcare providers. This finding is consistent with studies that emphasize limited access to healthcare services during the COVID-19 pandemic among monolingual Spanish Latino individuals [21,22]. While the reluctance of Latino individuals to access healthcare providers, due to language barriers and mistrust has been documented [21], our study adds that the perception of healthcare providers as government representatives increases mistrust.…”

Objective To examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic among Latino communities, with an emphasis on understanding barriers and facilitators to vaccine intention prior to the development of the vaccine. Methods Qualitative data were collected between April and June 2020 from 3 focus groups with Latino adults (n = 21) and interviews with administrators of community-based organizations serving Latino communities (n = 12) in urban (Los Angeles) and rural (Fresno) California, supplemented by Community Advisory Board input in May 2021to elucidate the findings. Data were analyzed with deductive content analysis. Results We have identified four main themes that are barriers to vaccinating against COVID-19: 1) concerns about accessing appropriate healthcare services, 2) financial issues and 3) immigration matters, as well as 4) misinformation. Conclusions Findings illustrate the pervasive role of addressable social determinants of health in the intention of rural and urban Latino communities in being vaccinated, which is a pressing public health issue. Policy implications: Findings provide evidence for a systemic shift to prioritize equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines to Latino communities.

“…The spread of the Coronavirus has been shaped by the particularities of socio-economic structures of impoverishment and precarity, wealth and privilege, and the multiplicities of racism and sexism. These entangled conditions mean that some populations have suffered disproportionately, and their deaths feature disproportionately in the available figures (Bhopal and Bhopal, 2020;Pilkington, 2020). The virus has traversed the boundaries of nation states and human bodily boundaries.…”

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected racial and ethnic minorities in the US, many of whom have LEP [28,29]. Since the start of the pandemic, hospitals have observed a significant rise in the percentage of patients with LEP or requesting interpreter services [30,31].…”

“…Concerns about contamination, limited the use of phone and video-based interpretation [39,40]. Concerns about COVID-19 transmission and limited PPE supplies reserved for clinical staff resulted in decreased availability of in-person interpretation at the bedside [28,40]. To reduce infection risk and PPE use, clinicians spent less time in the rooms of patients infected with COVID-19, and may have incentivized physicians to "get by" with ad hoc interpretation methods [22].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected racial and ethnic minorities in the United States, including many with limited English proficiency (LEP). These patients face various communication barriers, including a shortage of available interpreters and the need for masks that exacerbated communication barriers. It is not known how hospitals responded to these unique challenges to providing language services for the large number of patients with LEP during COVID-19. This narrative review assessed literature and lay media to identify strategies utilized by hospitals to communicate with patients with LEP hospitalized during the COVID-19 pandemic. A search of APA PsychInfo, EBM Reviews, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, Epub Ahead of Print, and Ebsco Megafile initially yielded 61 articles, 6 of which were ultimately included after reviewing abstracts and full texts. The identified interventions, which sought to increase accessibility of language-concordant care, increase accessibility of professional interpretation, and improve family communication and understanding, were described positively, though only one was tested for effectiveness.
