Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good radio stations for Haitian Creole,
Spanish and Portuguese-speaking populations. I know of El Mundo and Gallerie
Haitienne for Spanish- and Haitian Creole-speaking populations. These
populations are of a low literacy level and finding media stations they can
connect with will help our study. Also, any online newspapers for these
populations would be helpful too. Thank you.

Last spring, the Alaska Literacy Program and Providence Cancer Center
collaborated to provide information and knowledge on breast cancer and
breast cancer screening. Curriculum was developed with the assistance of the
adult literacy educator, the health care providers, and native language
experts in 5 languages.  A series of workshops were conducted at the
Literacy Program for all students regardless of age or gender. Outcome was
24 women over the age of 50 had their first mammogram through the mobile
mammography van on site at the Literacy Program. Volunteer nurses and
doctors provided the screening.

This was done as a pilot project and has now expanded to a city-wide Health
Literacy Collaborative which includes the municipality, the university
public health program, parish nurses, and other health care providers.  An
article was submitted to the journal, Alaska Medicine and will be in the
February 2008 issue.

Good Afternoon.  I am part of the Communications Office at the
Massachusetts Department of Public Health and would like to know if
anyone is aware of state health departments that have developed health
literacy or plain language guidelines.  We have some wonderful health
literacy experts here who have provided staff with training and referred
us to documents that are helpful but programs continue to ask for
standards or specific guidance.  Any ideas from other states on how to
address this issue with limited resources would be welcomed.

Hi Everyone,

Here's today's question... How do the states support health literacy
work? 

Whether through the state department of public health or other health
agencies, or through the state literacy system, how does does your state
support this work? 

I am also looking specifically for states that have formal partnerships
between their health and literacy systems. (Like Ian Bennett, I am
writing a piece for the upcoming Health Literacy issue of Focus on
Basics, and will write up this information there. Thanks!)

I would love to hear from as many states as possible! If yours is doing
a parntership like this, or supporting health literacy in some other
significant way, please let me know. And we can discuss this week what's
happening out there and issues related to state support.

Here is an article from a 2002 issue of Focus on Basics that looked at
different strategies and state policies that formed collaborations
between health and literacy programs. Take a look and send in your
comments! (What progress have we made in 5 years?)

Ian, 

Here is an example of a literacy and health collaboration you might be
interested in.  The New Hampshire Tobacco Control Program and Bureau of
Adult Education collaborated on a project to bring information about smoking
to young adults in ABE and GED programs.  As a consultant on the project, I
worked with adult education teachers and learners in New Hampshire to create
and then pilot tested a series of lessons designed to develop core literacy
skills and convey information about the health effects of tobacco use. The
lessons focused on math, language arts, and computer research skills and
delivered information relevant to both smokers and nonsmokers. Evaluation
data from the pilot showed significant gains in understanding of secondhand
smoke health effects, and in knowledge of local smoking cessation programs
among participants; the pilot program was also very well received by both
teachers and learners.  Project partners believe that integrating literacy
and tobacco education represents a highly targeted and replicable strategy
for providing individual and community education around the hazards of
smoking and how to get quit-smoking help.  For more information about the
project or copies of the lessons, contact Martha Bradley, Community Health
Institute, Bow, NH at 603-573-3318 or email her at mbradley at jsi.com.

Thanks Julie,
One thing that strikes me is that it is not obvious from any of these sites
how adult educators are part of the programs. It may just not be described
well but what I am looking for are examples where ABLE/ESOL educators,
programs, organizations are partnered with health providers, programs,
organizations. I think there is a need to have such collaboration and I am
trying to document cases where this has occurred. Did I miss something with
the sites on the Wiki?
Thanks,
Ian

Ian, I agree about the usefulness of this list. I have started one on the
Adult Literacy Education Wiki (ALE Wiki) on its health literacy page, but
have not added new ones for a while. If you get a list with descriptions, I
would be happy to put the new additions up there. In the meantime,  you can
go to it and see if you have the ones listed so far. You can find it at:

http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Health_Literacy

Look in "Promising Practices". They are not all collaborations, but most of
them are.

I hope we hear of more new ones!

Hello everyone,

In preparation for the upcoming Focus on Basics issue on Health Literacy I
would like to put together a listing of as many examples of collaborative
projects in which adult educators or adult education organizations are
partners/collaborators with medical providers, health system, or medical
organization as I can identify. If you could forward me any leads on this
with a description of the nature of the collaboration and any description on
web sites and publications (they are not necessary - just if it exists) that
would be great.

I think a loist of these types f programs would be very helpful to this
developing field.

Thanks,

Good Morning All,
 
Our site is planning an overhaul of all the reading materials our patients
are offered when in waiting rooms and reading areas. Being a hospital, it is
paramount that our materials are up-to-date and accessible. A quick
walk-through of some 'neglected' areas dug up some shocking results, like
pamphlets called "why do they act like that?" from a Stroke Recovery
organisation from 1974, as well as pamphlets about 'amazing weight-loss
supplements' (from dubious sources) in nutrition areas. I am wondering, has
anyone ever heard tell of a hospital or health region being sued or held
accountable for having out-dated or faulty health information available?
 
I understand this is a sticky situation, especially since most lifestyle
magazines usually have one or more articles about losing weight, or avoiding
certain foods, or doing certain exercises. And they all have advertising for
pharmaceuticals. Yet, these materials are readily available anywhere... I am
sure there is a big difference between this kind of thing in the States and
in Canada, but I am still very interested in this.
 
Considering that the first 'aspect' of health literacy is being able to
"access/obtain" health information, I think this fits in nicely.
 
I look forward to hearing from you.

The two colleges I teach at both use the StandOut series by Staci Lyn
Sabbagh and Rob Jenkins, published by Thomson/Heinle.  There is a unit
in all four levels of the text that address health issues.  The series
also has a test bank that provides ESOL assessment support.  I usually
augment the class with a visit from an RN who shares how to plan for
doctor visits and so they get the most out of the trip to the Dr., and
articles I've gathered over the years.  I often have a CPR trainer come
and train and certify the students.

what'salready out there? What went well and what didn't?

The two colleges I teach at both use the StandOut series by Staci Lyn
Sabbagh and Rob Jenkins, published by Thomson/Heinle.  There is a unit
in all four levels of the text that address health issues.  The series
also has a test bank that provides ESOL assessment support.  I usually
augment the class with a visit from an RN who shares how to plan for
doctor visits and so they get the most out of the trip to the Dr., and
articles I've gathered over the years.  I often have a CPR trainer come
and train and certify the students.

Hello!

Has anyone worked with specific ESOL Health Literacy Curricula available
out there? We are looking for:

-resources currently available

-anecdotal feedback from teachers and/or students about the "health
literacy for ESOL students" topic

-examples of evaluation forms and pre-/post- knowledge assessment
questionnaires for such curricula

Any help will be appreciated... Thanks!
