Non-English language availability of community health center websites.
This study examined the availability of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-supported community health center (CHC) websites that provide translated home page content. Out of 1400 CHC homepages, 34.3% provided translated information with half using Google Translate. Odds of the homepage being translated increased as the limited English-proficient (LEP) population by county increased, Internet subscription at the state level increased, or if the CHC was in a metropolitan area. Most of the homepages were translated into Spanish in counties with higher Spanish LEP populations, but this was not true for other non-Spanish language LEP populations.
