How reader-friendly are WIN's materials?
WIN aims to make all of its materials easy to read and use, but some materials include medical words and phrases. The reading level range for each group of materials can help you decide which groups may include items with complex language. For example, "Reading level = 8 to 10" means the items score between 8th grade and 10th grade in readability.

NIDDK publications are not copyrighted. You are encouraged to duplicate and distribute as many copies as you want. Please allow 3 to 5 weeks for delivery. Most of these materials are available online.
