Examining Health Literacy Considerations and Clinical Impact on Care for Allied Health Professionals

Professionals provide health information via handouts, videos, and social media posts consistently to families. When providing information to families, it is important to consider the readability, accuracy, and effectiveness of the message. There are cultural humility factors that should be concerned when providing health information. In this session, we will evaluate health information, discuss the factors to consider regarding dissemination of health information, and review case studies.

Following this course, participants will be able to:

1. Define health literacy and the aspects that impact care for clients that we work with.
2. Identify aspects that assist with the readability of health information.
3. Examine case studies based on the Three A’s for health literacy information.
