This research aims to analyze the calque present in the translation of the CDC’s preventive dissemination texts. This research is based on the assumption that informative texts are characterized by the use of simple language in their microstructure, regulated by the Plain Language Action and Information Network (PLAIN), parameters imposed by the U.S. government on government agencies for the communication of information. This material is intended for Spanish-speaking patients in the United States as part of diversity policies that exist in favor of the Spanish-speaking community, which represents a significant amount of the total American population. In addition, medical informational texts, such as medical brochures and fact sheets, are documents that provide relevant information on medical subjects using a clear and precise communication tone, who target a lay audience for them to make informed health decisions. Also, it is considered that, due to the situation of diglossia in the United States, the brochures translated into Spanish present syntactic, lexical, and morphological calques. In this way, the research addresses the idea of medical language for patients in informative texts in the American context where translations unintentionally use calques.
