New Resource for Preventing HIV in those Who Can't Read
-------------------------------------------------------
Family Health International is making available a new publication for
conveying HIV/AIDS prevention information to people with low-level
reading skills. "Designing Materials on HIV/AIDS/STIs for Low-
Literate Audiences" is available at no charge to users in developing
countries. It was produced by Family Health International and the
Program for Appropriate Technology and Health (PATH) with funding
from the U.S. Agency for International Development through the Imple-
menting AIDS Prevention and Care Project (IMPACT), which is managed
by FHI.
Recognizing that many concepts in HIV/AIDS are difficult to convey to
low-literate or non-literate audiences, this 155-page guide relies
heavily on illustrations, is printed in a larger-than-usual typeface,
and features clear, easy-to-understand explanations.
To request a copy, please send your complete address to
mailto:AIDSpubs@fhi.org. Users in developed countries will be asked
to cover postage and shipping costs.
