Description

Health literacy addresses a range of social dimensions of health including knowledge, navigation, communication as well as individual and organisational skills for accessing, understanding, evaluating and using of information. Especially over the past decade, health literacy has become a major public health concern globally as an asset for promoting health, wellbeing and sustainable development. This comprehensive handbook provides an invaluable overview of current international thinking about health literacy, highlighting cutting edge research, policy and practice in the field. With a diverse team of contributors, the book addresses health literacy across the life-span and offers insights from different populations and settings.  Providing a wide range of major findings, the book outlines current discourse in the field and examines necessary future dialogues and new perspectives.
