I'm interested. We recently applied for a grant to develop a health
literacy curriculum for Head Start parents in a county in Arkansas. The
primary goal, specified in the RFP, is to reduce nonurgent emergency
room visits. We have some ideas, which we laid out in our proposal, but
nothing set in stone. We are thinking about a fotonovela for the
Hispanic parents, and it might be adaptable for the rest of the parents
as well.

Subject: [HealthLiteracy 2074] WIC Mother's Health Literacy Campaign


Colleagues - 
  I am starting the planning phase of a health literacy campaign
targeting WIC participants in our county.  I was wandering if anyone
else has done a similiar program, or if anyone else is interested in
this. I would love to share our ideas with you and discuss your ideas as
we try to develop an effective program.  Thank you.
 
Matt
