Through a grant from the Greater Midwest Region National Network of 
Libraries of Medicine we are developing and evaluating a set of free 
web-based information resources that deal with emergency health services. 
The overall goal of the Healthy Roads Media project 
(www.healthyroadsmedia.org) is to understand how information technology can 
be used to improve access to health information for low-literacy and 
non-English speaking populations.  The English version of these new 
materials is available and within the next couple of months they will be 
available in Spanish, Somali and Bosnian.  Each topic is available as a 
written handout (PDF), a narrated audio file (MP3) and a compressed 
"movie-like" multimedia file.

   There are three topics -
   1.  How to Use the 911 emergency telephone system.
   2.  When to go to the emergency room
   3.  What to expect in the emergency room

   Please feel free to download and use the materials.  If you use these 
materials, or any of our other resources, please consider providing some 
feedback because we are continually learning from the experience of others 
and adjusting our approach.
