Correction
In the February 2002 issue (Volume 5, Issue C) of Focus on Basics, an article by Rima E. Rudd entitled "A Maturing Partnership" included an incorrect citation. It should read: Hudson River Center for Program Development, Inc., (1993). Health Promotion for Adult Literacy Students: An Empowering Approach. Albany, NY: New York State Department of Education.
