Plain Language, Health Literacy and the Implications of EU/CTR with Kelsey Brown, Director of Medical Writing at TransP

In this episode, Kelsey Brown, Director of Medical Writing at TransPerfect, shares about the importance of plain language and health literacy. Health literacy is the degree in which someone understands text and can take action. Data suggests the lower one's health literacy, the poorer their health outcomes. It's critical that information be provided in a way in which patients can understand and take action. Kelsey shares tips for drafting plain language documents and tools to measure readability.  We also discuss EU/CTR, the new regulations going into effect in January 2023, and what sponsor companies must do to be compliant.
