Health
literacy is not only about communicating in ways that others can understand but
also including skills, actions, and other information to help people stay alive
and live as well as possible.
Health
equity is about giving everyone the same chance regardless of their skin color,
money, education, living situation, and other life experiences.
Tips
and strategies for communicating about health in equitable ways. This goes beyond
clarity to include crafting messages with the audience in mind, being
nonjudgmental, and considering people’s situational realities. In other words,
being “open to their otherness.”
