Hello Julie and list members,
This is Lynn. I work on projects with the Canadian Public Health
Association (CPHA) through our National Literacy and Health Program
(NLHP). Since 1994, we have worked with a partnership of 27 national
health organizations. We aim to raise awareness about the impact of
low literacy on health and access to health services, to explore
issues, develop resource materials, and build partnerships in this
field.
Last year, we worked with partners in the fields of literacy and
health to host a national conference. We discussed new developments
in practice, policy and research to improve the health of Canadians
with low literacy skills. Since then, we have been working on new
project ideas and seeking funds to carry out the work. We hope to
announce two new projects in the New Year designed to improve health
professional training and to improve the knowledge base in Canada
about literacy and health (what is being done, what needs to be done,
and what this means for setting policy and planning health programs).
I find the NIFL-health list a useful place to learn about new
resources and developments in the field. Thanks for your efforts to
set up this new moderated format. I look forward to exchanging
information and ideas.
Lynn Chiarelli
