Serendipitously, I ran across this website today:
From the page:
Based in Minnesota, the Exchange is a partnership formed to exchange information and resources about health communication and to share multilingual health materials. The Exchange resources and information are open to everyone, but our online library of translated health materials and our forum are for members only.
I found the pages on "Disparity Topics" very useful, especially as they encapsulate the latest best practices in healthcare in these areas. They include:
- language
- literacy
- class
- culture
- race
- spirituality
making this a great resource for nurses, physicians and anyone interested in health literacy.
why serendipitous you ask? Check out the spirituality page, which poses the question:
How would you know what I want as I die?
Answering with: Spirituality shapes the health care choices we make. Guessing is no substitute for asking. Learn how and why to talk clearly about spiritual values.
