Présentation de l'éditeur

Advancing Health Literacy addresses the crisis in health literacy in the United States and around the world. This book thoroughly examines the critical role of literacy in public health and outlines a practical, effective model that bridges the gap between health education, health promotion, and health communication. Step by step, the authors outline the theory and practice of health literacy from a public health perspective. This comprehensive resource includes the history of health literacy, theoretical foundations of health and language literacy, the role of the media, a series of case studies on important topics including prenatal care, anthrax, HIV/AIDS, genomics, and diabetes. The book concludes with a series of practical guidelines for the development and assessment of health communications materials. Also included are essential techniques needed to help people make informed decisions, advocate for themselves and their community, mitigate risk, and live healthier lives.

This book contributes significantly to our understanding of health literacy and is superbly researched. The material is much more innovative than other scholarly pieces that are offered, by delving into fundamental, science, media, civic, and cultural literacy. The examples presented are illuminating and well-written and expand traditional health literacy from clinical settings to public health settings.

The chapters integrate seamlessly, are clearly organized and are supported by firm examples. This material has been impeccably researched and written. No other publication from this genre includes such an inclusive account of the problem WITH solutions. It is theoretically sound, demonstrates the complex relationship between literacy and health status, and is solution-oriented.

This is a book that anyone who cares about the delivery of quality healthcare should read. When the Institute of Medicine released their report on Health Literacy they called for more research and demonstration projects that will help healthcare providers better communicate with their patients. This book provides "the big picture" explaining the evolution of health literacy research, profiles of demonstration projects, and recommendations for the future all from a variety of perspectives. It is special because it brings the health literacy needs of people as well as institutions, to life. I recommend it highly.
