Inferential statistics were used to compare delivery or receipt and race, ethnicity, payor, or interpreter use.<br> <b>Results</b> <br>EHR analysis (n = 2,329) revealed Medicaid patients who used an interpreter were half as likely to have the fish nutrition message in their after-visit summary compared to those with Medicaid who did not use an interpreter (OR = 0.54, 95% CL: 0.35�0.84). The same was not true for non-Medicaid patients. Survey analysis (n = 52) showed respondents identifying as Black or African American were 25% less likely to report receiving the after-visit summary compared to respondents who identified as white (p < .01).<br> <b>Discussion</b> <br>The results presented here illustrate how nutrition communication in the prenatal period can differ by patient race, financial security, and language.<br> <b>Translation to Health Education Practice</b><p> 10.1080/19325037.2023.2209625 Nutrition Communication 54 Inequalities in communicating about nutrition information during prenatal care: the after-visit summary Prenatal Care
