Description
Diana Carvajal and her co-authors report a mixed-methods study of contraceptive care in Baltimore, published in 2026. Their focus is Latine patients, who say they want care built around their own needs and preferences. The team asked whether such patient-centered care actually happens during clinic visits.
They surveyed patients aged fifteen to forty-five, recorded visits, and coded how clinicians communicated. Most patients gave top ratings for counseling and satisfaction. Trained coders, though, scored the same visits lower, especially for Spanish-preferring and uninsured patients. Follow-up interviews help explain the gap between warm personal impressions and observed practice.
