The Role of Critical Health Literacy in Addressing Social Determinants of Health: A Workshop
Online Event
Wednesday, Jan 27, 2021 3:00 - 4:30pm


The Roundtable on Health Literacy will host a FREE workshop exploring critical health literacy's (CHL's) role in addressing the social determinants of health. The workshop will explore a variety of CHL skills ranging from the ability to contextualize information to engage in health care decision-making, to the ability to recognize the policy contexts that affect health. The workshop will also explore how these skills support effective social and political action and thus assist individuals and communities in addressing the social environment that shape their health and well-being. Agenda and more information is on the event page.
