Hello,

I wrote recently to announce the Health & Literacy Special
Collection, a Web resource for anyone teaching health to low-literate
populations. Along with the resources for adult literacy teachers and
students, we now have a page dedicated to resources for Health Care
Providers and Health Educators. 

This page can lead you research on the links between literacy and
health status and also to practical information about communicating
with low-literate patients and promoting the importance of health
literacy in a health care setting.

We are pleased to include on this page soon: a link to the new site
from Health Literacy Studies at the Harvard School of Public Health,
which was recently introduced on this listserve by Rima Rudd.

You can find this page at:

Provider/Health Educator Resources"
