Having problems with message search?
Good morning:
I have within my possession a "Pocket Communicator" developed by the Cambridge Advanced Practice Center for Emergency Preparedness, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. This sturdy and colorful brochure allows you to determine what language is spoken (15 choices); clinic signage included, as well as screening and treatment diagrams.( www.cambridgepublichealth.org/services/emergency-preparedness/products.php). The NYS Department of Health has also developed The POD Quick Card, which is similar in nature. The NYSDOH requests that you contact them for permission to adapt the Quick Card for any other use.

Subject: [migrant_health_research] pictures used for interpretation
Does anyone know of picture resources to help with interpretation when you have an obscure language? When trying to find out what language they speak if they cannot read? For example we do have the pain diagram with happy, sad faces and they can point, but something else that have been developed?
Thanks
