Nearly half of all American adults - 90 million people - have inadequate health literacy to navigate the health care system. Implications of Health Literacy for Public Health is the summary of a workshop convened by the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Health Literacy in November 2013 that focused on the implications of health literacy for the mission and essential services of public health. The workshop featured the presentation of a commissioned paper on health literacy activities under way in public health organizations. Other presentations examined the implications of health literacy for the mission and essential services of public health, for example, community health and safety, disease prevention, disaster management, or health communication. This report includes the commissioned paper and summaries of the workshop presentations"--$cPublisher's description. 606 $aMedical care$zUnited States 606 $aHealth literacy$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aMedical care 615 0$aHealth literacy 676 $a362.10973 700 $aHewitt$b Maria Elizabeth$01472895 702 $aHewitt$b Maria 702 $aHernandez$b Lyla M. 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bRoundtable on Health Literacy, 712 12$aImplications of Health Literacy for Public Health (Workshop)$f(2013 :$eIrvine, Calif.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787147903321 996 $aImplications of health literacy for public health$93801056 997 $aUNINA
