For health professionals who work with refugee and asylee clients, finding linguistically and culturally appropriate information for their clients can be challenging. Respondents of an information needs assessment identified several issues including literacy and health literacy, diversity of clientele, availability of existing materials, funding for translation, time to look for existing materials, and the information overload newcomers face. Current information needs included more time and money to find and create materials, translated materials in advance of newly arriving populations, one-stop shopping for materials, nonprint materials, and information on specific diseases and preventative care. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
