Yuri,

Check this site out.

If you click on the resources link it will take you to another page where you can click on a patient education link and find quite a bit of information. Some of it was created in Texas for a low-literate patient population.

Sorry for changing the topic discussion, but can somebody share some
feedback as to what type of health literacy resources will be good for a
diabetic conference, which will target the lay community (diabetic
diagnosed)with low education and economic status in the border Texas
region?

I wanted to share about an alliance between the CDC and a couple of
other groups. I believe the idea is to promote healthy habits at the
local level by offering incentives for all communites around the nation.
This will bring information to people where they live make it more
accessible.

Check it out and share your thoughts:
