In this workshop, we will describe an approach to addressing health literacy needs in our Ryan White Part C Clinic. After a discussion of need, we intend to present our methodology for health literacy screening in this population, including selection of a tool for measurement. We will then present and summarize the results of our measurements. We will discuss strategies which may be employed to address health literacy as found through review of the literature. We have selected “Teach Back” as the intervention which we have used with individuals found to have low health literacy scores; and we will explain our selection of this method as well as discuss our results thus far.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will learn how low health literacy impacts a patient encounter.
  • Participants will learn of current tools available to screen and measure individual health literacy.
  • Participants will learn about evidence-based strategies to employ with individuals who have low health literacy scores.
