Readability of a Radiotherapy Graphic Narrative Patient Education Guide Series in English and Spanish

Communicating the External Beam Radiotherapy Experience (CEBRE) and Communicating the Gynecologic Brachytherapy Experience (CoGBE) are novel graphic narrative patient education guides developed to facilitate doctor-patient communication during radiotherapy consultations.1 The guides were developed by designers and physicians with the goal of creating accessible, readable, and patient-centered tools for a range of disease sites and practice settings. Given the need for improved radiotherapy education resources for Spanish-speaking patients in the United States, we sought to develop versions of CEBRE and CoGBE in Spanish.
