Let’s Talk: Health Literacy and Health Equity
Webinar Overview and Objectives
Communication is at the core of everything we do in prevention. There isn’t one prevention strategy that doesn’t include communication as the foundation. Yet for many of the communities we serve, understanding communication materials can be a challenge. This webinar will discuss health literacy and will provide strategies for prevention practitioners on ensuring that prevention initiatives are communicated and implemented effectively. Remember, if your audience can’t understand your message, what is the point?
By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Define health literacy.
- Explain how literacy is connected to other social inequities and health disparities.
- Describe the Clear and Simple plan for improving prevention communications.
