I would recommend that you take a look at What to do When Your Child Gets
Sick, published by the Institute for Healthcare Advancement.  See

Subject: [NIFL-HEALTH:4457] baby care

Hello, all. We're thinking of redoing our booklet "Taking Care of Your New
Baby," produced mainly for Arkansans who are on Medicaid. I'm looking for
other examples, good and bad, of baby care and "well-child" care materials
for the general public and especially for low-literacy audiences.

After we've reviewed similar materials, we're planning to do a focus group
or some kind of testing with people of various reading levels and
backgrounds. We also have a Spanish version of the booklet that we'll tackle
next.

Also, if anyone has time to check out the booklet on-line at
http://www.afmc.us/Files/pdf_files/health_info/wellchild_manual.pdf and
offer feedback, I'd love to hear it. Feel free to respond off-list to
jsorensen@afmc.org. This booklet was produced before I worked here, so don't
be afraid of hurting my feelings. I already see things that could be
improved, but I won't color your opinion by naming them. Right now it is
printed on glossy coverstock to make it durable and attractive, with rounded
corners, saddle-stitched at the top. (It was originally designed to attach
to diaper bags, but we stopped attaching the metal loop a while back.) This
is all likely to change on reprinting, as we're also looking for ways to cut
costs without sacrificing effectiveness.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
