With
today's advanced technology comes an overflow of information
on the Internet. It can therefore be overwhelming to find
health information that is reliable, and specific to one's
culture and personal needs. CCHRC is therefore proud to provide
a vast variety of health information that is precise, updated,
and linguistically and culturally sensitive to the Chinese
community. The Center houses a collection of professionally
developed and bilingual health education material in its wellness
library. CCHRC's health newsletters and articles are written
and complied by its staff upon extensive research, and edited
and approved by physicians of the Chinese Community Health
Care Association (CCHCA). You can rely on CCHRC when it comes
to learning about your health.
Educational material development process
When planning and developing health education materials, CCHRC adopts a comprehensive, inclusive method, taking into consideration suggestions from several fronts, including those from our health seminar participants and requests from healthcare providers. The process also incorporates health trends and local needs based on health statistics. Recommendation for educational material topics are discussed and determined at the advisory committee level. Then CCHRC health education staff develops and translates the educational materials based on current literature. Focus groups and lay people are involved in field-testing the materials, and providers’ feedbacks are always solicited for clinical accuracy before finalization.
