For too many people, medical language comes across as complex medical jargon and gets in the way of clear health communication that may result in poor health outcomes. Difficulty understanding and acting on health information is called low health literacy. Join us for the webcast of the Day of Understanding, which also includes a media briefing by national experts on the scope and impact of low health literacy. We invite you to learn more about this emerging public health problem - and how you can be part of the solution.
