Summary
This study looked at whether telling doctors how involved Spanish-speaking patients want to be in medical decisions improves their care experience. About 106 patients at a Loyola clinic completed a survey about their preferred role in decision-making. Half of the doctors saw those preferences before the visit, and half did not. The goal was to see if sharing this information helps patients feel more satisfied and understood.
