Health Literacy and Communication Strategies in Oncology: A Workshop

Completed

Topics

Health literacy—the degree to which individuals can access, comprehend, and use information to make health care decisions—is a critical skill that enables people to engage in healthy behaviors to reduce cancer risk and improve health outcomes across the continuum of cancer care. The National Cancer Policy Forum and the Roundtable on Health Literacy convened a workshop to examine opportunities to improve communication in cancer care and to better support people across a range of health literacy abilities.
