FYI, two items, text lifted directly from sources:

"Family Health International is making available a new publication for
conveying HIV/AIDS prevention information to people with low-level reading
skills. Designing Materials on HIV/AIDS/STIs for Low-Literate Audiences is
available at no charge to users in developing countries. It was produced by
Family Health International and the Program for Appropriate Technology and
Health (PATH) with funding from the U.S. Agency for International
Development through the Implementing AIDS Prevention and Care Project
(IMPACT), which is managed by FHI. Recognizing that many concepts in
HIV/AIDS are difficult to convey to low-literate or non-literate audiences,
this 155-page guide relies heavily on illustrations, is printed in a
larger-than-usual typeface, and features clear, easy-to-understand
explanations. To request a copy, please send your complete address to
<AIDSpubs@fhi.org>. Users in developed countries will be asked to cover
postage and shipping costs."

HRSA (US Health Resources and Services Resource Admin):  "Health literacy
information and examples of HRSA health literacy activities can now be found
at: http://www.hrsa.gov/quality/healthlit.htm. A special thank you to the
HRSA Health Literacy Work Group for their efforts in working with HRSA staff
and grantees to raise awareness of health literacy.  These efforts are
important as we continue to improve access to care and the quality of care.
If you have ideas that may improve the usability of this site, send them to
me at ljohnston-lloyd@hrsa.gov."
