Harvard Health Publications and Krames Signs and Symptoms Fast Guides
Convenient, 10-panel full-color brochures with ample photos and illustrations offer decision support to consumers who are newly diagnosed or who have family members diagnosed with specific conditions. Written at the 6th to 8th grade level, they describe the condition, list the signs and symptoms, and recommend when to go to the doctor or visit the ER. They explain in clear and easy-to-understand terms what will happen if patients do not seek medical help, and what to expect during an office visit. Available in print or online.
