Health Literacy

It was interesting and sad to see how many people in America were illiterate! Then again, even intelligent people may not necessarily understand specifics about their own prescriptions or new drugs on the market. A lot of us just tend to do what the doctor tells us, right?

The SMOG exercise in class was fun. Apparently my group is pretty good at writing at an 8th grade level! If you have a paper or literature to be published, check out this website and see if our illiterate america will be able to understand it! http://www.literacytrust.org.uk/campaign/SMOG.html
