The National Oral Health Information Clearinghouse (NOHIC), a service of the
National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research at NIH, is seeking
field test locations.  As part of its health awareness campaign, Oral
Health, Cancer Care, and You: Fitting the Pieces Together, NOHIC has
developed an information sheet for non-readers and the limited literacy
audience.  

As you are aware, there is a great need for health publications that reach
patients with limited literacy skills.  The new publication relies on
pictographs more than it does words to communicate messages to an audience
that has trouble reading above a second grade level.  Specifically, NOHIC
hopes the document will communicate detailed information about oral health
and cancer treatment to an underserved audience.

NOHIC is hoping to find professionals who treat cancer patients with severe
literacy impairments to field test the design of this new publication.  If
you are able, or know of someone who may be able to assist, please contact
Mary Lontchar, Deputy Project Manager, NOHIC, at (301) 402-7364; email
mlontchar@aerie.com <mailto:mlontchar@aerie.com> .
 

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.
