The Health Literacy Discussion List

Welcome to the Health Literacy Discussion List, a service of the National Institute for Literacy, in partnership the LINCS Basic Skills Resource Collection, Ohio Literacy Resource Center, Kent State University

The purpose of this list is to provide an on-going professional development forum where literacy practitioners, healthcare providers, health educators, researchers, policy makers, and others can discuss literacy issues in health education programs and in health care settings; health education efforts being undertaken within literacy programs; literacy screening measures being piloted in health care settings and the readability of health materials.

This list is moderated by Julie McKinney. She can be reached at jmckinney@worlded.org.
