Health literacy refers to the ability to locate, understand, evaluate, and apply health-related information. Individuals with a migration background may encounter particular challenges in this regard. Familiar vocabulary, clear sentence structures, and a coherent informational framework can significantly enhance the comprehensibility of texts. One approach to tailoring texts for specific target groups is the use of Simplified Language or “Leichte Sprache Plus” (LS+). Against this backdrop, a key question arises: what difficulties do texts in Simplified Language pose in terms of comprehension and practical applicability specifically for women who speak German as a second language? In response, Sarah Ahrens develops an LS+ approach tailored to this group. She creates a patient information text in Simplified Language and compares it with the original version in standard German. Furthermore, she examines differences between experts and non-specialists, and addresses comprehension challenges that may also affect women who are native speakers of German.
