Abstract
Spanish-speaking patients indicate a strong preference for written discharge instructions in their native language, although there was no significant difference in short-term comprehension of instructions written in English vs. Spanish on objective evaluation. Accommodating these preferences may improve long-term comprehension and patient satisfaction, and ultimately build invaluable rapport between providers and patients.
