“…The benefi ts of using videos as a media for patient education have previously been documented in the literature. 80 This media, for example, has been reported to be an economical and entertaining mode of education. 81 Videos offer message consistency, can be viewed in groups or individually, and can be repeated at the viewer' s discretion.…”

A phasia can be defined as "the loss or impairment of language function." 1(p49) It is a multimodality disorder that manifests in difficulties with speaking, reading, and writing.1 Various studies have investigated the prevalence of aphasia resulting from stroke, estimating between 10% to 18% of stroke survivors will have aphasia long term.2-4 Given the language diffi culties encountered by people with aphasia, there is a growing recognition of the need to produce aphasia-friendly written health information.5-9 Aphasia-friendly information incorporates many of the recommendations for how best to format written information for stroke patients 10,11 but to an exaggerated degree. 12Preliminary research found that people with aphasia comprehended more health information when standard health information brochures and booklets were reformatted to contain simple words and short sentences, larger font, white space, and pictures. 6 Before further pursuing research in the area of aphasia-friendly text formatting, it is fundamental to determine whether people with aphasia wish to receive health information in written formats. "Virtually every variety of aphasia entails some diffi culty in oral reading or reading comprehension." 13(p60) Given this, and the wide variety of media available for patient education (eg, DVDs, Websites, verbal information), it should not be assumed that people with aphasia desire to receive health information in a written Purpose: Written health information can be better comprehended by people with aphasia if it is provided in an aphasiafriendly format. However, before pursuing research in the area of text-formatting for people with aphasia, it must be determined whether people with aphasia consider it helpful to receive health information in the written media. This study, therefore, aimed to determine the following: whether people with aphasia consider it important to receive written stroke and aphasia information; when people with aphasia prefer to receive this information; and what their preferences are for health information media. Method: Surveys were administered in a face-to-face interview with 40 adults with aphasia. Participants were purposefully selected using maximum variation sampling for a variety of variables including aphasia severity, reading ability, and time post stroke. Results: Participants thought it important to receive written information about both stroke and aphasia. They considered it helpful to receive written information at several stages post stroke, particularly from 1 month onwards. The largest proportion (97%) of participants identifi ed 6 months post stroke as the most helpful time to receive this information. Written information was the most preferred media at participants' present time post stroke (M = 39 months; range, 2-178 months). Videos/DVDs were the most preferred media during the 6 months immediately following the stroke. Conclusion: Despite reading and language diffi culties, participants considered written information to be important, hence people wi...

The aim of this study was to develop and test models for non–uptake of three doses of diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis containing vaccines (DTP3) among children of women living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. The study used demographic and health survey data from 27 sub-Saharan African countries that have the required HIV and immunization data sets. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the relationship between individual and contextual factors associated with non-uptake of DTP3 among the children. At the individual level, the odds of non-uptake of DTP3 decreased with formal education, increasing age and access to media. The full model shows that the odds of non-uptake of DTP3 is increased among unemployed women, those living in communities with high illiteracy rate and in countries with low adult literacy level. For a child who moved to another country or community with a higher probability of DTP3 non-uptake, the median increase for the odds of DTP3 non-uptake would be 2.24% and 1.22% respectively for country and community. This study shows that individual and contextual factors contributed significantly to non-uptake of DTP3 among the children of women living with HIV. Interventions should be focused on women living with HIV who are young mothers, unemployed women, those without formal education, individuals living in communities with high illiteracy rate and in countries with low adult literacy rate. The use of mass media tools and creation of more employment opportunities for HIV-infected women could improve vaccination coverage among their children.

“…15 A systematic review of RCTs found that communication tools in most formats will increase patients' understanding but are more likely to do so if structured, tailored and/or interactive. 16 The main limitation of this study was that it was conducted more than a year after the NICE guideline was published and a large group of patients were already aware of the guideline (either from their dentist or their cardiologist). Unfortunately patients' knowledge of the new guideline was not assessed.…”
