This directory provides information on cancer education materials that have been developed specifically for American Indians and Alaska Natives.

The directory includes a matrix of cancer education materials that identifies resources for a particular audience or cancer site. In this matrix, the 52 titles are arranged in alphabetical order and include information on the format, readability rating, applicable cancer sites, target audience, cultural/ethnic audience, and whether the item focuses on diet. The remainder of the directory provides additional information on each entry, including the title, producer, publication date, availability, format, target audience, content description, and readability rating. Formats include leaflets, fact sheets, pamphlets, booklets, books, posters, videotapes, and other materials. Included are instructions and a worksheet for determining readability ratings, and an index that arranges titles by producer or distributor. (LP)
