For example- prescription, primary care, trimester, immunization. Do you know of any existing glossaries or web-sites that describe these terms in plain language for audiences that may have problems with health literacy? Any sites that have both English/Spanish? Thanks so much, Jeannette R. Hilgert, MSG, MSW Program Administrator, Health Empowerment Initiative Venice Family Clinic (310) 664-7839 -phone jhilgert@ucla.edu "Plain language is about helping patients better understand technical terms and procedures so that they can make informed health care choices and not about eliminating science for the sake of immediate accessibility"
