Jack,
   Terry Davis here. I am trying to think of any article or chapt I hv
written that addresses the trauma of low health literacy. I'll mull it over
but I cant remember any off the top of my head.

   Emory wrote an article on Shame and Health literacy : the unspoken
connection. Nina Parikh was the first author. It was published in Pt ed and
Counseling in 1996.  

   When I give talks I use videos of pts telling  stories of their
experiences w/ the healthcare system and what its like taking meds when you
are not sure of how they need to be taken  correctly. Rima Rudd has also
recently  finished a great a video  that addresses this. Some of the clips
of my video are seen in the AMA's Health Literacy video which you can order
from the AMA[call Dr Joanne Schwartzberg at 312 464 5355]. I think you can
order Rima's from her. 

 Why dont you do a study in this important area  then we can read and refer
to your work- I'm serious. 

 
Terry

Does anyone know of any study done regarding the trauma of adult literacy?
I understand Terry Davis has published on this topic, but I have no idea 
where.
Any help greatly appreciated.
