Our textbook, Understanding Health Literacy:Implications for Medicine
and Public Health, will indeed be published by American Medical
Association Press in Chicago, IL.  We anticipate that it will be
published in September 2004.

The chapter in question is Chapter 2, Literacya aTesting in Health Care
settings, authored by Terry Davis, Estella Marin, Julie Gazmararian and
Mark Williams. We agree that it's a wonderful chapter, and we hope that
you'll see for yourself next year!

It will be coming out of the AMA Press publications, but I suspect not
until
the Spring of next year.
