Hi Charlene,

Unfortunately I have not been able to find much literature on this matter
myself.  However, I have started a Facebook and Twitter page dedicated to
increasing self-advocacy for health decisions through information, education
and empowerment.  If you find anything that you feel that should be readily
acessed by the public please feel free to forward me some information and I
will post it widely.  You can find my Facebook Page (Health In Your Hands)
www.facebook.com/SelfHealthInfo and my Twitter
https://twitter.com/#!/SelfHealthInfo.  Please send any information or
resources that you feel may be appliable to [log in to unmask]

If I come across anything in my research I will forward it your way!

Best,

Danielle
