HTTP://foundation.acponline.org/sheltertips . The link is to a one-page Health Tips for People Living in Shelters. The tips are available for downloading/printing by anyone wanting to use them. The content was vetted with many providers/evacuees around the South during the last week, and the Editor of the American College of Physicians' PIER (Pt. Info and Ed. Res) reviewed the material for an evidence-base. Some more about the shelter tips: * Physicians from the American College of Physicians (ACP) donating their services to treat victims of Hurricane Katrina report a lack of information written at an appropriate reading level to explain the importance of hand washing, not sharing medicine, and other health issues. * The ACP Foundation, working with health literacy experts and physicians, created HEALTH TIPS for Healthy Shelter Living, a one page handout for shelter volunteers to use with people in the shelters. * HEALTH TIPS for Healthy Shelter Living, is written at a third grade reading level, and is available in English and Spanish, plain text or with illustrations at http://foundation.acponline.org/sheltertips .
