Abstract

Migrants in Germany are a very heterogeneous population. This has to be taken into account when developing and distributing materials. Linguistic and cultural barriers lead to the conclusion that personal communication is the best way to approach some of the migrant groups - especially in sensitive fields like HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. The German Federal Centre of Health Education (BZgA) supports multipliers with special material for prevention and counselling. New methods for translation and distribution were developed for a family planning brochure in Turkish. Furthermore, a newsletter provides a forum for exchange of information and experiences among those working in the field of migration and health.
