Session summary: While adults are the focus of most efforts to build health literacy, there is consensus among the nation’s leading health policy and advocacy organizations that adolescents and children require guidance, education, and planning to manage their own health care as they become adults. This session will present an array of publicly available activities and materials appropriate for use in home, community, and school settings to improve health literacy knowledge, skills, and behavior. In addition, the session will spotlight real world examples of how health literacy best practices can be woven into the creation and use of content.
