The WHO defines health literacy as "the social and cognitive skills that determine the level of motivation and the ability of a person to access, understand and use information in a way that allows them to promote and maintain good health". Literacy in health not only means that the person understands the information that the health professional gives them or that comes to them but also implies that they know how to identify accurate and appropriate information, how to interpret and judge this information, and are able to apply it according to individual circumstances and needs. 606 $aCommunication in public health 606 $aHealth risk communication 615 0$aCommunication in public health. 615 0$aHealth risk communication. 676 $a362.1014 702 $aGonza?lez$b Carlos Miguel Rios 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910678590603321 996 $aHealth literacy$92913731 997 $aUNINA
