Project MED in Spanish:
The goal of "Project MED" (Medication EDucation for Consumers) is to provide patients with information, in a manner that they can understand, about the medications they are taking.
Now (for the first time ever) these booklets are available in Spanish. If you know Spanish-speaking individuals or have clients who speak Spanish, you may want to order these booklets. The booklets are written at a very basic level, with large type, and with liberal use of illustrations and are designed for a broad group of people taking medications; people with mental retardation, autism, reading difficulties, severe mental illness, child and adolescent patients, and people whose first language is not English. By providing this information, we hope to increase each patient's participation in his or her own health care.
The eight booklets are:
1. Derechos y Responsabilidades de los Pacientes (Patients' Rights and Responsibilities)
2. Medicinas Anticonvulsivantes (Anticonvulsant Medicines…Medicines for People with Epilepsy)
3. Medicinas Antipsicóticas o Neurolépticos (Antipsychotic Medicines)
4. Medicinas Antidepresivas (Antidepressant Medicines)
5. Medicinas Antimaníacas (Antimanic Medicines…Medicines for People with Mood Problems)
6. Medicinas Contra la Ansiedad (Antianxiety Medicines)
7. Medicinas Estimulantes (Stimulant Medicines)
8. Medicinas Para Otra Clases de Comportamiento (Other Behavior Medicines…Blood Pressure, Naltrexone, OTC)
The cost is $1.50 each, plus shipping and handling. See sample pages from the booklets in English on the Project MED website: http://www.projectmed.org. The website also explains how to order the Project MED booklets.
