Description
Pregnant women who do not speak the local language face a double barrier to health information, and a 2024 review by Marya Khan and co-authors searched for programs built for them. Out of nearly two thousand records, only three studies qualified, from Australia and Denmark.
The programs mixed midwife teaching with a phone app and leaflet, ran group classes shaped to the women's culture, or used short videos, all translated into the women's languages. Two measured health literacy with a standard questionnaire. The authors call the evidence thin for so large a need, and they urge tailored, measured programs rather than translated afterthoughts.
