Healthy Roads Media (www.healthyroadsmedia.org) has health information that focuses on low-literacy and non-English speaking populations. Some of the materials are not written at a low reading level but almost everything is available in other formats (audio, multimedia and web-based video) to help provide health information access for hard to reach groups. - Mary Alice Gillispie, MD Healthy Roads Media, Director At 07:47 AM 12/29/2005, you wrote: >Is there a health information website like WebMD that is at an >8th-grade level? > >I know 6th-grade printed materials on specific health topics are >available at some health websites, and some health websites have >"Easy-To-Read" sections. > >I have contacted several literacy groups, but no one is aware of such a site. > >Charles Jackson > >The information transmitted is intended only for the person or >entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL >material.
