"Take This Brochure...": An Analysis of Current Educational Materials Given to Clients with Diabetes.

McConnell-Imbriotis, Alison

Australian Journal of Adult Learning, v41 n3 p335-58 Nov 2001

Format, graphics, and content of print materials for people with diabetes were analyzed. The materials do not encourage proactive self-direction, the information is not contextualized, and diabetes is not presented as systemic. More flexible and inclusive formats and media, use of analogies, and more diversity were recommended. (47 Contains references.) (SK)
