Abstract

We evaluated the impact of language concordance - clinician or public health worker fluency in a patient's primary language - on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) contact tracing outcomes among 2668 Spanish-speaking adults in San Francisco. Language concordance was associated with 20% greater odds of COVID-19 testing and 53% greater odds of support service referrals.
