Oral Health Literacy : Workshop Summary, Paperback / softback Book

Oral Health Literacy : Workshop Summary Paperback / softback

Edited by Maria Hewitt

Paperback / softback

Description

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) Roundtable on Health Literacy focuses on bringing together leaders from the federal government, foundations, health plans, associations, and private companies to address challenges facing health literacy practice and research and to identify approaches to promote health literacy in both the public and private sectors.

The roundtable serves to educate the public, press, and policy makers regarding the issues of health literacy, sponsoring workshops to discuss approaches to resolve health literacy challenges.

It also builds partnerships to move the field of health literacy forward by translating research findings into practical strategies for implementation.

The Roundtable held a workshop March 29, 2012, to explore the field of oral health literacy.

The workshop was organized by an independent planning committee in accordance with the procedures of the National Academy of Sciences.

The planning group was composed of Sharon Barrett, Benard P.

Dreyer, Alice M. Horowitz, Clarence Pearson, and Rima Rudd. The role of the workshop planning committee was limited to planning the workshop. Unlike a consensus committee report, a workshop summary may not contain conclusions and recommendations, except as expressed by and attributed to individual presenters and participants.

Therefore, the summary has been prepared by the workshop rapporteur as a factual summary of what occurred at the workshop.
