This program should include information on the financial aspects of providing the program as well as participating in the program. This handout will be patient-focused and should be written at a sixth-grade level. The goal is to identify and manage or prevent chronic illness. You can use pictures, graphs, charts, etc. to make your handout eye catching and get the point across. Be sure your handout is easy to read and can be understood by the general population. If you use images, make sure these are not copyrighted and are culturally diverse and appropriate.
