  About What To Do For Health series ...
In America, estimates show that up to 90 million adults have only marginal literacy skills and cannot read or write above a 3rd to 5th grade level. In 1998, IHA recognized the impact this staggering statistic has on these individuals’ ability to make reasoned and intelligent decisions on the need for healthcare intervention, and to access that care in an appropriate manner. In response, the principals of IHA began writing a series of books, entitled "What To Do For Health."

Each of these titles - What To Do When Your Child Gets Sick, What To Do When You’re Having a Baby
, What To Do For Teen Health, What To Do For Senior Health and What To Do For Healthly Teeth- is written at a 3rd to 5th grade reading level. The books are organized for easy use and immediate access to needed information. Liberally illustrated and containing no medical jargon, the books are meant to be a resource that can be used by anyone who needs information on each topic. Click on any title above to see its Table of Contents and sample pages.

The books are an excellent resource for distribution by any group that has as its mission the health and wellness of parents, children, mothers-to-be, teens, or seniors. Volume discounts are available.
Teacher Training Manuals are also available for each title.
