This 29-page booklet is available in two multilingual versions: English/Spanish/Nuer and English/Bosnian/Russian. It explains how to decide if you need emergency care or not; how to schedule a medical appointment; what kind of questions to ask the doctor or pharmacist; and options for transportation to the hospital or clinic. The information is very basic, and there is large print, plenty of white space, and lots of photographs. The English is moderately easy-to-read. Audiocassettes are also available, which have the text read aloud in English and Nuer.
KEYWORDS: Cross-cultural Communication, Health Care Access
