Hi Math and Numeracy Folks!
This question was posted in the Health Literacy Group, and I wanted to put it here as well. Please share with us any resources you can recommend!
Thanks.
I am currently working on a project for the Minnesota Department of Health Oral Health Program gathering oral health data for a one-source web portal for providers, the public and other stakeholders. Part of the problem I've come across is translating data for the layperson. Recently I have found it difficult to describe studies to the public such as what a cross-sectional study is, limitations of the data, etc... I am trying to locate an epidemiology glossary for the layperson but have not yet been able to find one. Does anyone know if one exists? Or other resources that could help me to describe epidemiological studies and statistical terminology?
Thanks!

Hi Julie,
I just tweeted this request to see if any of my followers can come up with a good source for this. I will let you know what I hear!
