I am a very recent member of this list. Health literacy is of interest
to me as nurse practitioner working in The Care of Vulnerable People
Advanced Nurse Specialist Program at The Catholic University of America.
I am a TA in this program while I pursue a DNSc. I want to eavesdrop on
this list to understand what you, as experts, are saying. Heidi Maloni

Hmmmm, I can share that as a result of the survey of our members'
current job situations (more on that in a minute), 40% of those who
responded to the survey (there were about 70 responses) chose the word
"writer/editor" to describe what they do. But many, most, did not.
However, clearly there is a strong interest in writing.
I was commenting more from the vantage point offered by Dr. Rudd--that
not only on this list, but in general, the health literacy issue
(research especially) has "fixated" (my word) on how to express million
dollar concepts in 10 cents language. She is now observing that lately
the partnership of literacy and health is (and should) "mature" into
much more than plain language applications.
The survey ran on this list in December and January, and was conducted
in response to a desire of subscribers to know something about "who's on
the list". I have finished compiling the results but have not had the
time to compose a report to post--with luck, I'll do that next week.
