Patient Resources – and multi-lingual information

Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities are underrepresented in research, impacting their health outcomes. CINSW have released in-language resources to support learning about clinical trials.
These in-language resources include a printable factsheet https://www.cancer.nsw.gov.au/about-cancer/document-library/i-have-cancer-is-a-clinical-trial-an-option-for-me and glossary, and a digital poster.
