Book Description
"This manual reviews the problem of health literacy, its consequences for the health care system, and the likelihood that a clinician's practice includes patients with limited literacy. The manual then provides practical tips for clinicians to use in making their office practices more "user friendly" to patients with limited literacy, and gives suggestions for improving interpersonal communication between clinicians and patients. Finally, the manual concludes with several "case discussions" based on vignettes in the accompanying instructional video"--Introduction.
