Research shows disparities in infant outcomes for families with a non-English language of preference (NELP). The NELP Resource Bundle includes action-oriented, evidence-based, or evidence-derived change ideas that NICU team members can implement to improve outcomes for families with a non-English language of preference and advance health equity.
