Thanks for all you do.  I have been lurking around since I joined the list when I spent a weekend with Donna Brian (former roommate and longtime friend, and moderator of the workforce list).  I shared the site below with our curriculum resource person in the ESL program I'm teaching in.  She examined the site carefully and sent the site to all of our teachers.  The teachers are finding it very helpful for teaching low English literacy students.

Having a great day!

Dear Tonya
 
You can find a number of tools on the website www.healthliteracynow.org including
 
1. New Medication Form for providing patient centered information to patients and applying the teach back technique to make sure that the patients understand it.
 
2. Talk to your doctor form to be given to patients before they see their patients. This would encourage patients to ask questions and organize their thoughts. If the patient does not fill out the form then thats an indicator that the patient may have difficulty reading or writing.
 
3. Monthly Breast Exam form for helping women remind themselves about monthly breast exams.
 
The info provided on the website has readability of above 80% percent. Feel free to use the info.
 
Feel free to use the forms as long as you reference the website and provide me the name of your institution.
 
Thanks
 
Nadia
