The literacy level of this booklet has been assessed with Flesh-Kincaid at a reading level of about 6. This resource is available in English and French.

They note that it would be ideal if this resource was available in additional languages but their current funding does not allow for that. If your organization is interested in providing translation/adaptation in another language, please contact l.choquette@healthnexus.ca.
