- W2185958006 abstract "There is a critical need to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate health information for immigrant and refugee populations. This article discusses the challenges related to providing health information for immigrants and refugees in the context of developing health education/ health literacy programs. It includes lessons learned from National Library of Medicine (NLM)funded health information programs in Wisconsin, particularly the Hmong health projects funded by the NLM Specialized Information Services Division. Topics include special needs of immigrant and refugee populations; health care for immigrants and refugees; identifying and working with partner organizations; examples of successful efforts; and finding funding sources for health information literacy projects. For immigrants and refugees, finding useful health information is just one piece of the huge task of adapting and surviving in a new country. We need to walk in their shoes and listen to their stories before rushing into solutions based on our personal worldview of libraries and the World Wide Web as free sources of knowledge on a wide variety of topics, including health and disease. While we know that we need to take the time to learn about cultures other than our own, there is an immediate need to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate health information for immigrant populations. National standards require that most health care providers provide culturally and linguistically appropriate patient information. Those providing this health information and education are often frustrated in their search for appropriate resources. This is particularly true when working with refugees who have had minimal exposure to Western culture and health care systems. This article will discuss issues related to health information for immigrants and refugees in the context of developing health education/health literacy programs for these underserved populations. When working with these populations, providing access to information via libraries and the Web is not enough--we need to work with consumer and patient educators to develop appropriate resources and programs that meet their information needs. The challenges involved will be illustrated with examples from National Library of Medicine (NLM)-funded outreach programs in Wisconsin. The focus will be on lessons learned from the Hmong Health Information Promotion (2001-2003) and the Hmong Health Education Network (2003-2004), both funded by contracts from the NLM Specialized Information Services Division. These Hmong health projects are partnerships managed by the Northern Wisconsin Area Health Education Center (NAHEC). The needs assessment process used to develop these projects is applicable to many populations. For more on needs assessment, review the community analysis advice offered in Consumer Health Information for Public Librarians (Baker & Manbeck, 2002). The following topics will be addressed: * Special needs of immigrant and refugee populations" @default.
