Caroline,

Go here to find a plain language booklet for men recently diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer developed by the Michigan Cancer Consortium several years ago and recently updated. The booklet is a shared decision-making tool, intended to support men and their loved ones in making a treatment decision. 
www.prostatecancerdecision.org

Prostate cancer is a complex topic to 'translate' into plain language or easy to read format. Good luck in your search for resources.

Hello all,

 

I am trying to find some easy to read handouts or brochures for a series
of town meetings.  The first meeting is on Prostate Cancer.  I have
found plenty of information  but I would like to include some  easy to
read handouts.  I have checked MedlinPlus but they offer a video
tutorial, this has to be in print. Do any of you know a resource I could
use.

 

 

 

Regards,


Caroline
