The research team conducted a cross-sectional telephone survey of 99.4% of all pharmacies in the Bronx area of New York to determine the availability of Spanish prescription labels. Pharmacies located in areas with the highest proportion of Spanish speakers were more likely to provide prescription labels in Spanish. Of the 111 pharmacies that could provide labels in Spanish, most used a computer program to perform the translation. Of these pharmacies, only one had a Spanish-speaking pharmacist who could check and correct the computer translations. Access to this report requires a subscription.
