The language used in healthcare can often be confusing. It’s important now more than ever that we use simple terms when explaining things to people. bit.ly/2DFsESr #healthliteracy #coronavirus #covid19 @RCGP @jasonleitch @nhsscotland @scotgovhealth

Low health literacy is a serious public health issue that can impact anyone. It can lead to poor self-management of diseases and negative health outcomes. Professionals need to be better educated as to how to mitigate this issue! #EM203Robin #EM203Problems

Hi @swselfmanage! I’ve heard through @Digi_Coalition that you offer a FREE program for healthcare providers on health literacy! Could you tell me about the program? Also, do you offer anything for patients? Thank you! #healthlit 📚👨‍⚕️

Great website that provides an overview of what health literacy is & its importance. It shows that low health literacy can impact anyone & several issues can arise. The CDC provides both solutions to conquering this problem & a list of programs worldwide. cdc.gov/healthliteracy…

As of 7 p.m. Wednesday, Joe Biden had 264 electoral votes and President Trump had 214. @AP has not yet called Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes), Georgia (16), North Carolina (15), Nevada (6), and Alaska (3). apne.ws/UiveB5Q

This is such a great way to promote health literacy through social media! Providing medical professionals with this simple language can go a long way in the outcomes of their patients. #EM203Robin #EM203Research

Low health literacy has the capacity to impact a persons health status. One way in which this can occur is due to the inability to access health care services. The following journal article provides further details on this issue. #EM203Research ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

@EM203eboyle your concept map on Low Health Literacy was very informative, and I loved the colour coding! One thing you could focus on is the large number of people who do not have a family doctor and how not having consistent primary care impacts the problem! #EM203problems

Hi @EM203eboyle great concept map on low health literacy, it was very descriptive! An additional issue you can expand on under 'People Impacted' is poverty and how people living in poverty are affected. #EM203problems

Hi @EM203rebeccale, your concept map about climate change was very informative. Another problem you could consider under the health branch is the impacts on respiratory diseases. Poor air quality can lead to the development and/or worsening of these conditions. #EM203problems

@AndreaEM203 The topic you identified in your concept map, "Cost of Higher Education", is both interesting and relatable. Another associated issue is the cost of off-campus living and/or transportation. Your concept map looks great! #EM203problems
