Both public health best practices and the practical realities of large-scale changes to address health literacy suggest the health literacy field should develop a policy agenda. This webinar opens with a brief summary of the presentations made at the 2019 Health Literacy in Action conference describing Maryland health reforms and policies that intersect with health literacy concerns. It will be followed by an overview of the key topics and areas for action that emerged during the conference discussion. Participants will be able to share their own examples of policy developments that can help advance health literacy or conversely that might get in the way of health literacy progress. The webinar will conclude with ideas for a health literacy policy agenda and how to build and implement the agenda in the future.
