Patient Education Materials Assignment Information
For this assignment, you will create patient education materials on a healthcare topic of your choice. These materials MUST be written at or below an 8th-grade reading level.
You can choose to create your materials in any of the following formats:
- Trifold Brochure Example
- One- or two-page Handout Example
- One- or two-page Interactive/fillable handout/checklist Example
On a separate page, you will provide a list of references that you used to create your education materials, in APA 7th edition format.
Important notes:
- Your materials must be partly VISUAL in nature. Do not provide materials that are more than 80% text/written materials. Include images/graphics/tables, color, pictures, etc. Ask yourself, would I read this if presented to me? What if I only read at an 8th grade level? What if I prefer pictures?
- Group information into small chunks. Allow the reader to “digest” the information without overloading it with extensive comments.
- Consider if what you are presenting might scare or offend the reader. Might some readers flinch or cringe at the sight of blood in an image or purulent drainage/wounds? Might a reader be put off by only gender binary images or a lack of racial or ethnic diversity?
- Avoid medical jargon when at all possible. Your materials should be understandable to the “lay” person with a minimal reading level.
- Consider directing the reader to additional resources/information.
- EDIT for grammatical/spelling errors and typos.
- Be sure to use inclusive language.
You must submit your assignment in .doc, .docx, or .pdf formatting only.
