National Adult Literacy Database

This is one in a series of booklets prepared by the Calgary-based Vocational and Rehabilitation Research Institute (VRRI), an agency that helps people with disabilities as well as the community at large.

The authors describe the parts of the breast; offer tips for keeping breasts healthy; explain how to do a breast self examination; and outline what is involved in a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy.

They use simple language, provide tips for pronouncing difficult words, and have included many illustrations.

VRRI is now called Vecova Centre for Disability Services and Research (Vecova): http://vecova.ca/.
