HEALTH LITERACY
MyHealthfinder is a prevention and wellness resource that you can share with audiences who have limited health literacy skills. The site includes evidence-based health information written in plain language that’s actionable and easy to use.
Health Literacy Online is a research-based guide that helps you develop health websites and digital health information tools that all users can easily access and understand — including the millions of Americans who struggle to find, process, and use online health information.
Health literacy is a central focus of Healthy People 2030, so we’ve put together a list of some key Healthy People objectives related to health literacy. You can use it as a starting point to build your own list — and easily track progress toward these objectives throughout the decade.
The National Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy aims to engage organizations, professionals, policymakers, communities, individuals, and families in a linked, multi-sector effort to improve health literacy. The Action Plan includes 7 goals for improving health literacy and strategies for achieving them.
