ABSTRACT
Low health literacy continues to be a barrier in patient education. One solution to low health literacy is creating or providing patient education materials written in plain language. Plain language follows guidelines created for federal agencies to ensure that documents are written in clear and accessible language for all audiences. Health care professionals and librarians can locate or recommend plain language health information from many reputable consumer health websites.
