Youth Mapping Health Literacy

This toolkit is designed to mobilize youth to map community health literacy. By asking the following questions and mapping the answers, youth help local organizations understand and address the problems of health literacy in their community:

* How many people in the community have problems with health literacy;
* Where the average person can go to get help understanding their health paperwork;
* If physicians and hospitals have support in creating health literate materials;
* If pharmacies have programs to help people understand their medications;
* If written materials are tested in the community; and
* If adult literacy programs include health literacy examples? (publisher)
