This report discusses necessary steps to help ensure successful community-based health literacy interventions using adult learning principles. Two workshop topics are covered: one on the flu and the other on the safe and effective use of opioids. Successful implementation includes conducting a needs assessment, developing project content, identifying target audiences, building strong community partners, implementing the workshops, and evaluating outcomes. The report also features the importance of patient-centered prescription medication labels to improve patient understanding, safety, and adherence. Results from a case study suggest redesigned labels that are patient-centered are easier to understand and improve adherence. |
