Pictographic instructions for medications: do different cultures interpret them accurately?

Objective (1) To determine whether a range of linguistically diverse individuals of non‐European descent could understand the meaning of predeveloped pictograms without any additional aids such as verbal explanations; (2) to identify appropriate modifications to the pictograms to diminish errors of interpretation; and (3) to test the notion that central pictogram elements have the same meaning irrespective of language or culture.
