FYI, Health Literacy Newsetter and some sad news...
** **
I just read some sad news in this newsletter - Len Doaks of (Len and Ceci
Doaks) recently passed away. As many of you know, the Doaks were the
pioneers and catalysts for the field of health literacy. I remember a
workshop the Health Ed Section of OPHA sponsored in mid-1990 with the
Doaks. It was one of the most well attended workshops, and it was such an
honor to meet them. I still have their book - *Doak, Doak, & Root,
Teaching Patients with Low Literacy Skills, Second Edition (1996) - *and it
is still considered the bible of health literacy. If you've never heard of
- gasp - or read any of their works, I encourage you do to so. They were
an amazing duo.****

**[image: Pills]***Welcome!*****
* *****
Health literacy is all about understanding. ****
****
My working definition is that health literacy happens when patients
(readers, web users, the lay public, or anyone else on the receiving end of
health communication) and providers (clinicians, educators, public health
specialists, librarians, and others on the giving end) truly understand
each other. ****
****
In other words, health literacy is about all of us. As requested, here's

many ways, plain language writers act as translators -- communicating
complicated, ever-changing, often-ambiguous health information in a manner
that is clear and simple enough for average readers to understand. There is
a lot to consider when deciding how to communicate and what to include.
