Health and literacy are inextricably linked, and health and literacy providers are working together in new and exciting ways to use that link for positive results. The newest issue of Focus on Basics is packed with articles on a wide variety of partnerships: between nursing and teacher educators in the university, between medical schools and literacy programs, between health educators and literacy students, between health planners and literacy providers. Also included in the issue is a long-awaited report on a five-year study of the impact of a literacy curriculum that incorporate health information on the literacy skills and health knowledge of learners, a new way to look at what the health information in the National Assessment of Adult Learning reveals, and how to use illustrations effectively in health education materials. Authors include Dr. Susan Levy and colleagues, Dr. Andrew Pleasant, and Dr. Ian Bennett and colleagues, and National Institute for Literacy's Health Literacy discussion list moderator Julie McKinney, among others.
