I am also interested in the resource you provided to Lillian Hill, however
it was not listed in the e-mail you sent, or did not make it through as an
attachment


Thank you

Hi Lillian, 

Its good to find you here and I was concerned about you following Katrina. 

Here is a resource that may already be familiar, but you may find some
research around it by searching for author or title. 

Perhaps we can do something collaborative - I'm here at VCU now. 

Let me know how you're doing. 

Best to you,

Does anyone know of research that involves the use of visuals to communicate
health information to low health literate people and that also involves a
partnership between healthcare and adult education? I have lots of examples
of research about the first part but I do not have any good stories of
research that involves both parts. I would really appreciate learning about
your stories.

The New Readers of Iowa have learned to use the Ask Me 3 questions, i.e., 
What is my main problem? 
What do I need to do? 
Why is it important for me to do this? 
  
They have also practiced Teach Back with Iowa Health System professionals. 
  
My student's husband was recently hospitalized in a diabetic coma. 
They experienced information overload before he was released.  She 
commented to me, "I wish I'd done Teach Back with them.  We don't 
remember what they told us to do."
