Margarita,

You didn't ask for information on folic acid to prevent birth defects,
but CDC has that booklet available in English and Spanish, especially
for people with lower literacy.  You can access the booklet (and other
materials on folic acid) at
http://www2.cdc.gov/ncbddd/faorder/orderform.htm.  The English version
is Healthy Mothers have Healthier Babies with Folic Acid: Emma's Story
and the Spanish version is Las Madres con Buena Salud Tienen Bebes Mas
Sanos con Acido Folico: La Historia de Emma.  Scroll down a little ways
on the order form, and you will see it.  Our materials are available
free to anyone who can use them.

Thanks,

for Latinos


Hello,

I am trying to locate pamphlets/booklets designed for Latinos/Hispanics
in Spanish dealing with asthma, HIV/AIDS, STDs, tuberculosis, hepatitis,
flu, pneumonia, organ transplantation. Since most Spanish speaking
Latinos also have low literacy, low literacy materials would be
particularly helpful.

Does anyone have information on this?

Thanks,

Margarita
