Aim: The aim of the study was to explore foreign-born immigrants' experiences of information from Swedish societal actors. Method: A qualitative method with four semi-structured interviews were conducted with students studying SFI (Swedish for immigrants) in a small municipality in Sweden. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: The data analysis identified six categories; The communication paths from the social actors vary, different social actors' ways of communicating and how different obstacles limit the understanding of information, they need to use different types of support to understand information, education creates the conditions for understanding and there is a variation in how they want the information to be adapted. The study's findings highlighted that foreign-born immigrants are a heterogeneous group, with individual conditions, resources, and experiences. Conclusion: To reduce the unequal gaps in health and ensure that all people receive the information they are entitled to, societal actors must design the information in an appropriate, cultural, and relevant way for foreign-born immigrants. Information adapted for everyone, it is a prerequisite for good and equal health
