This cross-sectional study examines the association between quality of care for Latinx youths and the ethnic concordance of the mothers and clinicians. Is maternal-clinician ethnic concordance associated with youth receipt of family-centered care? In this cross-sectional study including 2515 Latinx youths, maternal-clinician Latinx ethnic concordance was found to have had a positive average association with maternal reports of their youths receiving family-centered care, after adjusting for maternal characteristics. The findings of this study suggest that clinicians from underrepresented minority backgrounds contribute to the attenuation of medical home provision disparities among Latinx youths in the US. Disparities in medical home provisions, including receipt of family-centered care (FCC), have persisted for Latinx youths in the US. To examine the association between maternal-clinician ethnic concordance and receipt of FCC among US-born Latinx youths. A cross-sectional secondary analysis of data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2017, was conducted. Data analysis was performed from January 6 to February 3, 2020. Latinx youths (age, ≤17 years) born in the US who had a usual source of care and used care in the past year, their Latina mothers (age, 18-64 years), and youths’ health care clinician characteristics (eg, race, ethnicity, and sex) were evaluated using χ2 tests and propensity-score matching methods. Maternal reports on whether their youths’ clinician listened carefully to the parent, explained things in a way the parent could understand, showed respect, and spent enough time with the patient. There were 2515 US-born Latinx youths with linked maternal characteristics during the study period; 51.67% (95% CI, 48.87%-54.45%) of the youths were male, mean (SD) age was 8.48 (0.17) years (30.86% [95% CI, 28.39%-33.44%] were between ages 5 and 9 years), 61.53% (95% CI, 57.15%-65.74%) had public insurance coverage, and 39.89% (95% CI, 32.33%-47.89%) had mothers who were ethnically concordant with the youths’ medical care clinician. We found that for youths with maternal-clinician ethnic concordance, the probabilities of reporting FCC were significantly higher than they would have been in the absence of concordance: that the medical care clinician listened carefully to the parent (average treatment effect on the treated [ATET], 5.44%; 95% CI, 2.14%-8.74%), explained things in a way the parent could understand (ATET, 4.82%; 95% CI, 1.60%-8.03%), showed respect for what the parent had to say (ATET, 5.51%; 95% CI, 2.58%-8.45%), and spent enough time with the patient (ATET, 5.28%; 95% CI, 1.68%-8.88%). Given the increase of Latinx populations and the simultaneous shortage of underrepresented minority health care clinicians, the findings of this study suggest that increasing the number of clinicians from underrepresented minority backgrounds and ethnic-concordant parental-clinician relationships may help reduce disparities in receipt of medical home provision among US-born Latinx youths.
