April 2009

Greetings!

Welcome to this month's e-newsletter for the TB Education & Training Resources Website (findtbresources.cdc.gov). The purpose of this monthly newsletter is to inform you about the featured Highlight of the Month, additional helpful resources in the database, and other updates to the website.

Highlight of the Month

This month's highlight, from the New Jersey Medical School Global Tuberculosis Institute,

What You Need To Know About Tuberculosis
is a colorful flipbook called What You Need To Know About Tuberculosis. This flipbook was designed to help healthcare workers communicate effectively with patients. The flipbook provides a general overview of TB testing, latent TB infection, TB disease, and TB treatment. Text to be read by the healthcare worker is provided on one side of the flipbook, while easy-to-read information for the patient is provided on the opposite side.
