I thought your continuing education artlicle "A mind for multicultural management " (October 2002) did an excellent job of addressing multicultural needs and competency. To help meet these needs, I produce low-literacy diabetes education materials in foreign languages. It's shocking to learn of the enormous burden of disease and death carried by the poor and less literate. I encourage you to continue alerting nurse managers and staff about the needs of our growing ethnic population.
