'ICT Access and Use for Communicating on Health and Community Wellbeing in Culturally and Linguis... more 'ICT Access and Use for Communicating on Health and Community Wellbeing in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) Communities' was a one year project funded by the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth), and also supported by Victoria University. It sought to understand the challenges and opportunities that groups from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, such as refugee and migrant communities, face in utilising information technologies in relation to messages of health and wellbeing. The project researched community patterns and preferences in the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for health and wellbeing in order to develop strategies to build more effective ways of using ICT for communication by health service providers with these communities. An overarching aim of the project was to provide a basis for reducing health inequities within CALD communities that arise because of barriers that these communities experience in accessing health promotion materials that are culturally and linguistically accessible and appropriate. iii
