Most of these publications are available online at the following website addresses: National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse (NDIC) http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/diabetes/diabetes.htm National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NDDIC) http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/digest/digest.htm National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC) http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/kidney/kidney.htm You may also wish to do a search of the Combined Health Information Database (CHID), a service of the clearinghouses. CHID provides references to hard-to-find health education materials. These materials include articles from medical journals, books, booklets, brochures, audiovisual materials, and educational materials for patients and health professionals. The database provides abstracts, titles, and availability information on each item. An easy-to-use search interface that allows people to perform simple or complex searches is available at http://chid.nih.gov/ on the Internet. Barbara J.

Ideally materials will read at or below the 6th grade level (of course piloting with specific audiences would be needed but this could serve as a starting point for educators). Do you know of such a list already in existence or other materials that fit this description? Photonovellas, pictographs, and easy-to-read brochures, pamphlets, etc.? Topics falling under basic nutrition may include the Food Guide Pyramid, eating less fat, shopping, cooking, etc. I appreciate any assistance that you can provide on this topic. -Alicia ******************************************************************** Alicia White, MS, RD Nutrition Information Specialist Food and Nutrition Information Center National Agricultural Library 10301 Baltimore Avenue, Rm 105 Beltsville, MD 20705 (301) 504-6053
