[PHSW] Resend with URL>Health Literacy Resources: Writing in Plain Language

[Laura Larsson]

Friends:

I think I need to stop work for today; I'm starting to make mistakes. My 
apologies.

 Here is the URL that was to accompany this message below: 
http://www.mgh.harvard.edu/library/default.asp?page=plain_language

While surfing the Web for a related resource, I came across this well 
populated and extensive site titled, "Health Literacy Resources: Writing 
in Plain Language" from Treadwell Library and Massachusetts General 
Hospital and thought you might be interested in taking a look. The one 
line descriptions are helpful. Some resources are based on patient 
information rather than consumer input, but it might still be valuable.

My thanks to the librarian who created this site, Deborah Jameson. (Need 
information? Find a librarian!)
