October is Health Literacy Month Health literacy is about how - TopicsExpress



          

October is Health Literacy Month Health literacy is about how people understand information about health and health care, and how they apply that information to their lives, use it to make decisions and act on it. One way to improve health literacy is for healthcare providers to work with consumers to make sure information and services are easy to understand, use and act on. In our 2014 Living with Pain surveys, only 12% of people with pain said they had been asked to contribute to developing pain educational materials. 81% said they would like more information about their pain. There is clearly room for improvement. Is there any information that you would like us to provide on this page?
