James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., Most nutrition information is written above the 10th grade level. Because the reading level of at least 50% of the U.S. population is at the 6th grade level and below, a brochure was developed to help these individuals understand and use the Nutrition Facts food label. This single topic brochure was designed for distribution anywhere general nutritional materials are available, especially the grocery store. The tri-fold pamphlet introduces the Nutrition Facts label to individuals with reading skills at the 6th grade level with emphasis on the relationship between serving size and fat. This brochure received formative evaluation from a pilot test group of low literacy clients. The brochure was then redesigned following their suggestions. The final brochure is tri-fold, with color photographs and 6.1 FOG reading level. Summative evaluation of client skill development is in progress. A second brochure is now under development to help clients understand the % daily value on food labels.
