Online Portals Promote Spanish-Language Resources

Format: Web Site
Institute: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

NIDDK has launched three new portals to feature Spanish health materials and resources on its Web site.

People looking for information about diabetes, digestive diseases, or kidney and urologic diseases in Spanish can now go directly to the appropriate Spanish-language portal page, where they will find an A to Z list of topics and titles. NIDDK has 40 diabetes-related publications, 10 publications about digestive diseases, and 18 kidney and urologic publications in Spanish and will be adding more than 30 Spanish publications in the future, including one-page fact sheets that are part of NIDDK’s Awareness and Prevention series.

Next Steps
The new Spanish-language information portals are available at www.diabetes-espanol.niddk.nih.gov (diabetes), www.digestive-espanol.niddk.nih.gov (digestive diseases), and www.kidney-espanol.niddk.nih.gov (kidney and urologic diseases).
