To all concerned:

The Centre for Literacy of Quebec would like to announce the publication, on
its Web site, of a “Background Document on Health and Literacy”. The
document provides an overview of health literacy practices in Canada,
identifies and discusses key issues surrounding health and literacy, and
profiles a number of past and current health literacy projects and programs.

The draft paper is the product of Phase 1 – the literature review and needs
assessment phase – of a project to establish a Patient Education Centre at
the Montreal General Hospital. The document’s focus is exclusively Canadian,
but we would very much appreciate any comments, suggestions, information,
and/or experiences that could help us with future phases of our project.

The document can be accessed through the Centre’s homepage -
http://www.nald.ca/litcent.htm - under the link “Health Literacy Centre
Background Document”. It can also be accessed directly through the following
URL: http://www.nald.ca/PROVINCE/QUE/litcent/health/opening.htm.

Please send any comments to Linda Shohet (Director) at:
literacycntr@dawsoncollege.qc.ca. We thank you for your interest, and look
forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Claire Elliott
Research Assistant
The Centre for Literacy of Quebec
