Hi Nicola,
I have an evaluation tool for AV resources that was developed some time ago
but is still very relevant. The goal is to select health related AV
resources that suit the general population so plain language is a factor in
the selection but so are several other characteristics. There is also an
excellent tool for evaluating AV resources (SAM) in Doak, Doak and Root’s
book, Teaching People with Low Literacy Skills.
Hope this helps.
Nancy

Does anybody have information about evaluating audio-visual resources for
health literacy? I am involved primarily in print resources, but a colleague
of mine would like to know, and I am intrigued too.

Thanks,
Nicola
