“We Feel Alone and Not Listened To”: Parents’ Perspectives on Pediatric Serious Illness Care in Somali, Hmong, and Latin American Communities

The experience of ethnically diverse parents of children with serious illness in the US health care system has not been well studied. Listening to families from these communities about their experiences could identify modifiable barriers to quality pediatric serious illness care and facilitate the development of potential improvements. Our aim was to explore parents' perspectives of their children's health care for serious illness from Somali, Hmong, and Latin-American communities in Minnesota.
