The Health Literacy Style Manual

The Health Literacy Style Manual is a resource for developing and improving applications, notices and other print materials related to government programs. It includes examples from real programs and can be used to make materials more client-centered, thus increasing consumers' capacity to find and understand health information and services and to make informed health-related decisions.
