Choosing Wisely Canada has developed over 60 clinician and patient resources that offer plain language information and encourage conversations about the harms of unnecessary tests and treatments. These resources are important in promoting shared decision-making and ensuring patients have information that can lead to smart and effective care choices.

In the past few months, we have expanded our materials to include translations of popular resources that can foster these important conversations. A select number of patient pamphlets and antibiotic resources in primary care have been translated into five languages. See the links below for all resources now available in Arabic, Punjabi, Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Tagalog.
