To find consumer health materials in non-English languages, search by ethnic group or language spoken, i.e., Cambodian (group) or Khmer (language). Where possible, search by both the English name and the name in the target language (if Roman alphabetic), and use variations with and without accents and special characters, i.e., Spanish or Español or Espanol.
