Black Health Literacy

Catalog description

This course will introduce students to health literacy research, practice, and skills in a multicultural context. The course will develop students' understanding of how health literacy is both a barrier and an asset for health care for people of color, and particularly for Black/African Americans, as well as how it affects a wide range of outcomes. Students will learn the basics of health literacy concepts, models, and research methods, and discuss health literacy research and evaluation in clinical, public health, and community settings.
