Overview
Public Health Emergencies like COVID-19 put additional strain on health communication. Some populations at higher risk of infection are also populations who face health literacy burdens. I review three ethical challenges to effective communication in public health emergencies. I explain health literacy strategies for addressing these challenges. And I offer some suggestions for communicating time-sensitive health information effectively.
