Communicating health risks can be challenging. People can make informed health decisions when they understand the cause and effect associated with a risk.
During a health emergency, there are increased amounts of complex information to distribute at a rapid pace. Remember, using plain language makes it easier for everyone to understand and use the health information we produce.
Visit our Health Literacy webpage to learn more about best practices for guidelines and tools to help you write and speak, as well as laws, and standards for health literacy and plain language.
