- Summary:
- The National Academies Roundtable on Health Literacy convened the third of three workshops to address the themes of trust and positive health equity outcomes that arise from strategic community-based organization practices. Given the historical and current reasons individuals and communities with marginalized identities have to mistrust public health communications and institutions, health literacy is essential. To bolster mutual trust, hospitals, payers, providers, and public health professionals should have the cultural competence and humility to match the health literacy needed from their patients.This Proceedings document summarizes workshop discussions.
