An ad hoc planning committee will plan and conduct a one-day public workshop that will feature invited presentations and discussion on developing health literacy skills among youth from early childhood to young adulthood. The workshop discussions may consider all of the settings where youth consume information and misinformation that shapes their behaviors and attitudes regarding their health, including:

· Schools

· Family

· Clinics/health care settings

· Community

· Media

· Peer groups

The workshop will address the state of the science around programs and interventions to develop health literacy skills in youth from early childhood to young adulthood and may include presentations and discussion related to the following issues:

• What are the developmentally appropriate health literacy milestones for each age?
• What are the individual and population metrics for measuring health literacy in youth?
• What are the challenges of transitioning from one age group to the next in terms of gaining greater responsibility for self-care, healthy behaviors, and managing health conditions?
• What programs/interventions are available to develop youth understanding of their roles and responsibilities in managing their own health?
• What types of programs/interventions should be developed and tested to develop health literacy in youth?
• Where are the opportunities to learn from related disciplines, such as elementary and STEM education and transition readiness research?

The planning committee will define the specific topics to be addressed, develop the agenda, select and invite speakers and other participants, and moderate the discussions. A proceedings of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
