Abstract
Health literacy promotion techniques are important for the school nurse’s tool kit. Forty-three percent of the adult population have difficulty understanding basic health information, yet written materials sent home from schools are often at a level well above the average reader. Learning and applying techniques to improve the appearance and comprehension of your written materials will help to get the school nurse’s message home. This article is the second and final in a series of articles focusing on health literacy. The first article, focusing on verbal communication, was published in the September 2013 issue of NASN School Nurse.
