In search of simple education printouts in English/Spanish

[anon456, BSN, RN]

I am volunteering in a free clinic with a very low budget. I was wondering if anyone knows about some very simple printable educational material for lower literacy patients in both English and Spanish.

I did find one website that was a good start, but I would like to see if there are others you all know about.

HI,

Try this website. Spanish is my first language and these sound like what you are looking for.

Patient Education Materials

What population of Hispanics, as there sometimes are differences in Cuban, Puerto-Rican, Mexican-American Spanish. For example: I was searching for hand out on peanut allergy/anaphylaxis but the hand out from the allergy association used different word for peanut. The 3 MA's who are also Mexican-American did not know that word & I had never heard it either.

As an FYI, there is a Southwestern Medical Spanish dictionary for anyone working in this part of the country. Or anyone working with Mexican-Americans as we are everywhere! ( Washington state, Oregon, Chicago, heck my brother send me an Ad for Virginia for a bilingual Spanish/English FNP, there are not many of us around)

Southwestern Medical Dictionary: Spanish-English, English-Spanish

Drug reps often have non-branded education materials available free of charge.

The Novo Nordisk website has great 1-sheet educational materials that you can download and print in both English and Spanish. I use them frequently in the clinic where I work. https://www.novomedlink.com
