Consider patient acculturation level in family planning discussion

Key clinical point: Hispanic patients with a higher level of English language acculturation were less likely to use birth control and may require a more detailed discussion of the options for family planning.

Major finding: Hispanic women who reported using birth control had significantly lower English language acculturation compared to those who reported no birth control

Study details: The data come from surveys of 225 Hispanic women that combined the number of years lived in the U.S., the Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics, and questions about family planning behaviors.

Disclosures: The study received no outside funding. The researchers had no financial conflicts to disclose.
