Expiration Date:08/05/2023
Format: Enduring Online Material
Target Audience:
This activity is intended for physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, public health professionals, pharmacists, licensed professional counselors, physical therapists and social workers.
Statement of Need:
Many rural communities throughout the country have experienced health disparities during Covid-19, especially in minority populations who tend to work in manual labor jobs such as meatpacking plants. Gaps were identified in community relations and culturally and linguistically congruent communication between healthcare and constituent communities.
This is important not only for this pandemic but for future public health issues where communication is of the utmost importance to help prevent disease spread and economic losses. Especially for disparate and underserved communities, it is critical to close these gaps.
Learning Goal and Outcome:
Learning Goal: Participants will improve health outcomes by creating a practice of cultural health literacy and improved relationships between the healthcare system and the community
Learning Outcome: Participants will communicate in culturally sensitive ways that promote health literacy among the Hispanic population served by their medical practice.
Educational Objectives:
Upon the completion of this activity, learners should be able to:
1. Demonstrate knowledge of barriers to communication and understanding of how to facilitate health-protective behaviors.
2. Employ effective strategies to help clients reduce their barriers through health literate communication.
