“…Nevertheless, this suggests a potential opportunity for web-based education campaigns on HBV targeting young Chinese migrants, as suggested in the area of HIV prevention and sex education. 33,34 Online health resources can be very effective for people with limited English proficiency, 35 particularly for sensitive issues such as hepatitis B and sexual transmission. 36…”

Hepatitis B is a significant public health challenge within some subpopulations in Australia, including Chinese and Vietnamese migrants. There has been limited research on hepatitis B knowledge and actions in these communities. The authors conducted a self-administered survey among 442 Chinese and 433 Vietnamese in Brisbane. Generally, the knowledge is best described as “moderate.” One in 2 could not identify the sexual transmission risk and less than one third knew that sharing foods or drinks did not spread the disease. The majority of Vietnamese (80%) and 60% of Chinese respondents indicated prior testing. Vaccination was reported in 60% of the Vietnamese and in 52% of the Chinese. Knowledge was better among Chinese people who had been tested and vaccinated compared with those who were nontested and nonvaccinated. Only 3.5% of the Chinese, but 11.6% of the Vietnamese, indicated having a positive test result hepatitis B virus. This study helps identify strategies for programs targeting both communities and practitioners.

“…Limited language proficiency and understanding of the new culture and systems are barriers for immigrants' use of healthcare systems in the new country (Lipson, 1992; Tsai, 2001). Web‐based health education is a widely used health promotion tool (McCarty et al, 2002). Nurses can modify existing Web sites to tailor immigrants' needs to enhance their communication with healthcare providers and understanding of the new country's systems.…”

“…Web‐based health education, for example, is one of the innovative responses to technological advances. During a 5‐month period, McCarty, Enslein, Kelley, Choi, and Tripp‐Reimer (2002) accessed approximately 75 multilingual health education Web sites from Australia, Canada, and the United States (US). Not only were these sites considered beneficial to clients or healthcare consumers, they were also valuable for medical and nursing education, especially for countries with fewer resources (Ajuwon, 2003).…”

“…Research shows that actively involving the target group (constituent involvement) throughout the development process can help to ensure that resources are tailored and culturally appropriate. It can also lead to increased acceptability of the resource, promote partnership working and can be an important step in empowering individuals 35 . This should be the foundation for programme development.…”

Changes in the prevalence of oral diseases and the funding of National Health Service Dentistry in the United Kingdom have combined to emphasize the role of the dental team in the prevention of disease. As part of this, oral health promotion plays a vital role in local communities and educational settings. Like many other inner-city London boroughs, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham have linguistically and culturally diverse populations, accompanied in recent years by an increasing demand and need for oral health promotion for non English speakers and those with low English language proficiency. Using the population of Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham as an example, this paper will highlight the complexity of developing oral health promotion resources for non-English-speaking populations, where language is a barrier to accessing information and services. Practical strategies for delivering health promotion in the community will also be considered.
