Digital library initiatives for public health workers, multi-cultural information on immunizations, and health literacy activities utilizing Rx Information prescriptions are some of the features of new outreach projects in the Pacific Northwest. Each project will also include training and community development in settings with limited health information expertise. The RML received many excellent proposals in response to Outreach to Underserved Health Professionals and Community Outreach RFPs, issued last summer. We are happy to announce the following three projects selected for funding that will begin in January 2007:
