This is the first in a series of briefs that focus on evaluative research into the use of alternative means of health communication; they include plain language, audiotapes, videotapes, interactive media, and visual images. Searches of the medical and education literatures were conducted as part of a Health Literacy Project that examined the communication needs of patients with limited literacy or other communication barriers. The guiding question for these searches was: ‘What impacts have been documented in
relation to the identified target groups?’
