Hi Margarita,
   Healthy Roads Media (www.healthyroadsmedia.org) has materials in Spanish 
on a number of the topics you mention in your message.  Each piece of 
information is available in three formats (written, audio, and multimedia) 
to help meet the needs of low-literacy and other vulnerable 
populations.  Everything is free and can be used on-line or downloaded and 
used off-line.  We are currently working on a tuberculosis education 
project and should have these materials posted in the next few 
months.  Feel free to use any of our materials.  If you have any 
suggestions, please let us know.
