More
notes from WUN Health Literacy Conference This summary is from my personal notes. Any errors
are mine. “There is much confusion in the
field,” Michael Wolf of Northwestern University told Worldwide Universities
Network members meeting in Southampton, England to begin developing a global
agenda for health literacy research to address the global rise in
non-communicable disease. Is health literacy is a field? A covariate? An
outcome? Who is responsible for
health literacy? What are priority intervention targets? All these are open
questions, he said. And a single perspective will fail to appreciate the
complexity. |
