Brief Summary:
Currently patients presenting to the Fertility and Reproductive Medicine Center meet with an English-speaking provider and communicate through an interpreter as none of the physicians speak Spanish However this study PI is a native Spanish speaker and certified bilingual clinician Thus this study is looking to evaluate whether or not the use of an interpreter delays completion of testing and initiation of fertility treatment The medically indicated testing procedures and course of treatment will not be altered as a result of participation in the study Participants will be asked to complete a survey in their preferred language to gauge satisfaction and communication efficacy
This proposed study is significant as it seeks to address a critical gap in the understanding of how language concordance between healthcare providers and patients influences treatment outcomes in fertility care With Spanish being the most commonly spoken non-English language in the US evaluating the impact of Spanish language skills in medical care is both timely and essential This research will shed light on whether Spanish-speaking patients experience better treatment progression and outcomes when cared for by language-concordant providers versus when interpreters are used in fertility care
This prospective study will be conducted at Washington Universityamp39s Fertility Reproductive Medicine Center over a 12-month period The investigators aim to enroll a total of 70 Spanish-speaking patients based on previous patient trends at the Center 35 will be randomized to the intervention group being evaluated and treated by a Spanish-speaking provider and 35 will be randomized to standard of care communicating with an English-speaking provider through an interpreter
