@SHAPE_America Add #healthliteracy concepts/skills in The National Health Education Standards. Compared to countries such as Japan and Finland, the U.S. is less prepared to deal with the complex demands of the #healthcare system. #HealthLiteracyAwarenessMonth

[MHLP @MNHealthLit]

9 in 10 Americans may struggle with health information and over one-third of U.S. adults have lower #healthliteracy skills. We need #healthcare, #publichealth, and #education professionals that are trained in #plainlanguage #healthliteracy and #clearcommunicaiton.

Failure to address #healthlitearcy costs the nation $438-$987 billion in unnecessary healthcare expenditures. We can solve this through policy change. Learn more here: https://t.co/i47IVxtE83 #SupportGreenandBlue #HealthLiteracyAdvocacy #HealthLiteracyAwarenessMonth
