Abstract
This poster presents a case study method developed for a pilot study investigating the evaluation of print- and text-based consumer health information by individuals who have low or limited literacy skills in English. The methodology is based on the theory of Everyday Life Information Seeking, usability research, community-based participatory research, and research with vulnerable populations.
