The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) is conducting a webinar on November 12, 2013 entitled “Using Plain Language to Make Diabetes Messages Clear and Simple.” Wendy Mettger will be the featured speaker. She will discuss the problem of low health literacy and plain language as one possible solution to the problem. She will use examples from revised NDEP publications to show how plain language strategies can be used to make materials easier to read and understand.
