Project MED" (Medical Education for Consumers) was created with funding from the U.S. Administration on Developmental Disabilities. The goal of project MED is to provide patients with information, in a manner that they can understand, about the medications that they are taking. The booklets are designed for a broad group of people taking medications: people with mental retardation, autism, or reading difficulties, patients with severe mental illness, child and adolescent patients, and people whose first language is not English. By providing this information, we hope to increase each patient's participation in his or her own health care.

The series consists of eight booklets. The booklets were written to provide the basic information about patients' rights and about medications in easily understood words. There are few medical or legal words, and difficult words are defined.
