Health literacy and health outcomes among children with developmental disabilities: a systematic review.
This systematic literature review focused on the impact of health literacy on health outcomes of children with developmental disabilities (DDs). A review of the literature of most of the major scientific databases was conducted. Out of 2,768 unique records identified, 53 full text articles were reviewed and four articles were included. The associations of family health literacy with health outcomes among children with DDs were mixed. Future research was recommended.

Advancing informed consent for vulnerable populations.
The authors suggest an innovative approach that uses low health-literacy communication strategies and visual aids to augment and potentially replace the traditional approach to informed consent. This approach involves: (1) the use of effective health communication and low-literacy techniques, (2) the use of visual aids and graphics to promote understanding and guide the reader toward key study concepts, and (3) careful attention to child dissenting behaviors.
