Disparities in self-management outcomes by limited English proficiency among adults with heart disease.

ABSTRACT: There are significant disparities in cardiovascular health outcomes by limited English proficiency (LEP). Self-management plans (SMPs) are associated with better patient outcomes, however little is known about the association of LEP with having an SMP among adults with heart disease. This study examined this association using 2013-2016 California Health Interview Survey data. Among adults that received an SMP, we also examined whether they had a hard copy SMP (print or electronic vs. none), and whether they reported confidence in their ability to manage their heart disease. Our sample included a total of 9102 adults, including 1232 LEP and 7870 English proficient (EP) adults. LEP was associated with significantly lower odds of SMP receipt (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] 0.46, 95% Confidence Int
