Health Literacy Tool Kit The Council of State Governments offers a free tool kit for policy makers that contains four issue briefs that examine different ways states can address health literacy -- through their Medicaid programs, by improving health communication, in state-mandated K-12 curriculum, and by working with adult learners.
