This kit is definitely worthwhile: AMA Health Literacy kit http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/8115.html This looks like a great video: "Community Voices Exploring Cross-Cultural Care through Cancer" http://www.fanlight.com/catalog/films/329_cv.shtml Community Voices: A Video and Facilitator's Guide http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/cancer/materials/videos.html You might want to take a look at the following to help in your selection of materials: You may find the list of Books and Journals of interest at this Web site: Readability Analysis of Consumer Health Materials http://www.nnlm.gov/scr/conhlth/read.htm Perhaps some videos would help your collection: Resources for Consumer Health Videos http://www.nnlm.gov/scr/conhlth/chvideos.htm Cultural competency may be of interest - I think this is free material but may as well add it! HRSA has updated The Provider's Guide to Quality and Culture, adding information to help health care practitioners deliver culturally sensitive care to Arab, Central and South Asian, and Muslim clients. The new information, developed in partnership with the U. S. Agency for International Development, provides essential health-related information on the growing numbers of immigrants and refugees from Middle Eastern and Asian countries, including Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Algeria, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. In addition, the Provider's Guide includes a special section on the health care needs of Muslims. The Provider's Guide is a joint project of HRSA's Bureau of Primary Health Care and Management Sciences for Health (MSH). Topics include: * getting to know the cultures; * strengths and protective factors; * challenges to health and well-being; and * principles for culturally competent health services. http://erc.msh.org/mainpage.cfm?file=1.0.htm&module=provider&language=En glish&ggroup=&mgroup= While not literacy related, videos are always great when dealing with a low literacy audience: Kids Tell Kids What It's Like When Their Brother or Sister Has Cancer.

Our fiscal year ends this month and my department is significantly under-budget. I just received official word to go shopping. :-) It looks like I have about $500 in my "pocket" and I'd love to hear recommendations from people about "must-have" materials or resources to order that support the development of accessible materials for patients and/or diverse audiences. I'm open to considering just about anything - from software to textbooks to subscriptions. Currently on the to-order list is: Doak & Doak, "Teaching Patients w/ Low Literacy" and Health Literacy Project, "Literacy, Health & the Law" Thanks in advance - Martha Burton Santibanez Outreach Specialist National Marrow Donor Program ===================================================================== Please note that this e-mail and any files transmitted with it may be privileged, confidential, and protected from disclosure under applicable law.
