Public Health Resource Unit
The PHRU Information Management team commissioned research on the availability of Multilingual Health Information. This research updates the Directory of Black and Ethnic Minority Resources which was published in in 2004. This latest report "Search for Multilingual Health Information Resources" and the resulting series of Directories, meets a key aim of the Public Education Resource Library, which is to ensure equity of access to health information.
The full report, the directory and an optional cover are available to download from the links below:
