Announcing New Partnership - NCFH and Consumer Reports Best Buy Drugs Information

[Guest guest]

Dear

Colleagues,

Here

are a series of links that might be of interest and assistance to you in your

work with health center patients. This information is brought to you as a

result of a new partnership between the National Center for Farmworker Health

and Consumer Reports Best Buy Drugs.

Consumer

Reports has developed a significant presence related to consumer education in

their choices related to prescription drugs. This is the first of a

series of email messages that we will be sending to you on a periodic basis in

hope that this information will be helpful to you, your staff, and your

patients.

Our

assessment of this information is that the literacy level is quite high and

only a limited number of the documents are currently available in Spanish as

well as English. We have already provided CBB with this feedback and they

are working on literacy level adjustment, and translation. So with that

caveat, you may find that this information is most helpful to your staff for

their utilization with patients as a tool in their health education endeavors.
