font-size: 20px;\">The importance of communicating effectively with consumers from multicultural groups to ensure better health outcomes is being celebrated during Multicultural Health Week across the State this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">Speaking at Liverpool Hospital today, NSW Health\u2019s Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant launched the 2018 Multicultural Health Week and said the theme this year was <em>Health Literacy &#8211; Talk, Listen, Ask \u2013 For Better Health.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">\u201cWith around 22 per cent of all consumers in the health system born in non-English speaking countries, the health literacy of this community is significantly lower than the general population,\u201d Dr Chant said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">\u201cHealth literacy is how people understand information about health and health care and how they apply that information to their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">\u201cOf those with a first language other than English, approximately 75 per cent had below-adequate health literacy, compared to 54 per cent of people with English as a first language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">\u201cTypically culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities across NSW are also older and have a longer length of stay than other consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">\u201cThe role of our health workers assisting this population is more crucial than ever.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">Acting Director for the NSW Multicultural Health Communication Service (MHCS), Michael Camit said the NSW Government has developed a new toolkit designed to help health workers support clients from CALD backgrounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">\u201cIt contains information on assessing the need for an interpreter, risks around using friends and family members to interpret and the use of interpreters in health consultations,\u201d Mr Camit said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">\u201cThe toolkit covers tips on ways to improve readability of health information, preparing health resources for translations and improve signage for health services as well as advise on hospital tours for newly arrived migrants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">\u201cIn 2016, 31.5 per cent of people across NSW spoke a language other than English at home compared to 27.5 per cent in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">\u201cThe population of NSW is continually evolving and this week is a great opportunity to celebrate our diversity and vibrancy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
