The content in the material should not assume that reader has any background knowledge on the topic. While some of the women in your target audience will already be familiar with these terms, knowledge may vary with levels of education and acculturation. Be sure to provide your reader with the background information necessary to complete the behavioral objectives. Summarization reinforces central points of the material.
