From Coverage to Care: Advancing Equity through Health Literacy

Iris Feinberg PhD.

Abstract

October is Health Literacy Month. Navigating the health care system and health insurance can be overwhelming and confusing. For adults with low literacy, it can be impossible. Attendees learned about how one can answer questions and support clients, patients, and others using appropriate and health literate informational resources.

This event was co-sponsored by the Adult Literacy Research Center at Georgia State University and the Georgia Alliance for Health Literacy.
