But unless you’ve given serious thought to who is targeted by your outreach efforts, chances are you’re missing some of the very people you could most help. The reasons for this are many, and complex, but one of the central reasons is culture. Culture is a shared way of doing things that are learned by a group of people. A “cultural community” is a group of people linked together through a common sense of belonging or membership. People share values, beliefs, and ways of doing things. Anthropologists and sociologists tell us that income level, educational attainment, race, ethnicity, and language create distinct subcultures within “mainstream” American. | In Anthony Jameson Cécile Paris and Carlo Tasso Eds.

Abstract. Health-education documents can be much more effective in achieving patient compliance if they are customized for individual readers. For this purpose a medical record can be thought of as an extremely detailed user model of a reader of such a document. The HealthDoc project is developing methods for producing health-information and patienteducation documents that are tailored to the individual personal and medical characteristics of the patients who receive them. Information from an on-line medical record or from a clinician will be used as the primary basis for deciding how best to fit the document to the patient. In this paper we describe our research on three aspects of the project the kinds of tailoring that are appropriate for health-education documents the nature of a tailorable master document and how it can be created and the linguistic problems that arise when a tailored instance of the document is to be generated. 1 The Value of Tailored Health-Education Documents Health-education and patient-information brochures and leaflets are used extensively in clinical settings for many purposes - To educate patients about a particular medical condition and its management Treatment choices for breast cancer The surgery decision Living with diabetes. - To tell them how to follow a medical regimen prepare for a medical procedure or manage recovery Getting ready for your bowel .
