I am reading these responses with great interest. Please share any comments with us all. I am the manager and consultant for a literacy and health project in Manitoba, Canada, which will bring literacy and health people together in a series of 15 training sessions across our province.

I'm particularly impressed with the Participatory Action Research model. I would welcome any comments and resources.
