The Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) is a tool designed to evaluate the effectiveness of health-related educational materials. It assesses materials across several factors, including content, literacy demand, graphics, layout and typography, learning stimulation, and cultural appropriateness. Each factor is rated to determine how well the material meets the needs of its intended audience, ensuring that health information is accessible and comprehensible.
