Subject: instruments for assessing print resources


I have just reviewed Jodi Thesenvitz's excellent resource on producing
health communication material (Ontario Health Promotion E-Mail Bulletin
#198.1 March 09, 2001). Thanks Jodi.

As I was reading it, I was particularly looking for instruments for
assessing or evaluating health education / communication written material.

Specifically, I am looking for:

1) protocols/checklists an organization could use to evaluate the quality
of the written material they produce, and also

2) Criteria they can use for deciding in a systematic way what resources
they refer their members to (web sites, articles, organizations, etc)

Do any of you have or know of any such instruments?

Thanks,
