Thanks Caroline for posting this website information.  It is very
helpful and I hope to promote this to our staff in the health region. Do
you know of any sites that address resources for illiterate people. We
have Low German speaking Mennonites ( from Mexico)  that have little or
no education and Low German is not a written language so translating is
not possible.

	I thought I posted my website to everyone but apparently not.
Here it is again.  It is a list of resources I am promoting to the
nursing staff here for Patient Ed.  It is not the prettiest as it has to
follow all our other pages.

	Hi Arina,

	 

	I have created a website of health literacy resources.  You
cannot link to it but I can send you the htm file and you can view it in
your browser. I am trying to promote health literacy here at the
hospital.  I bought the health Literacy toolkit from AMA. It has a DVD,
CD and manual.  The DVD is a series of interviews with people of low
literacy skills.  I have introduced it to our patient Ed committee and
it will be shown to all new medical hires.  I will get the file to you
later today.

	 

	I understand  you are promoting to the community and I am
promoting to the hospital but you may find some of the resources useful.

	 

	Caroline

	Two useful reports are from NCSALL (released yesterday 
http://www.ncsall.net/fileadmin/resources/fob/2008/fob_9b.pdf) and AHRQ
www.ahrq.gov/clinic/epcsums/litsum.htm. 

	 

	I would also recommend the Institute of Medicine report on
health literacy (see the IOM web site). In addition the American Medical
Association publishes a book on health literacy (Eds Schwartzberg et al)
and recently published a report on the NAAL health literacy measures
(Sheida White). Another good book is "Advancing Health Literacy" by
Zarcadoolas, Pleasant and Greer (2005). The National Institute for
Literacy also just produced a webcast on Health literacy that might be
useful and is accessible on their web site.

	Hi everyone,

	 

	I am new to my position and need to address health literacy in
my community. Can anyone make any suggestions as to where to start? I am
working on a fixed budget.

	 

	Many thanks,
