Development and implementation of health literacy programs to improve health and health equity

健康素养是指有效地发现、理解和使用健康信息和医疗服务的能力。该奖学金将促进对健康素养的理解。它将确定糟糕的健康素养可能如何导致健康不平等，并利用这些信息开发和测试干预措施，以改善医疗保健系统的反应。这项研究将使处境不利和脆弱的人更容易得到照顾，得到理解，他们的需求得到认识和满足。

Health literacy is the ability to find, understand and use health information and healthcare services effectively. The Fellowship will advance the understanding of health literacy. It will determine how poor health literacy might cause health inequalities and with this information, develop and test interventions to improve the response of the healthcare system. The research will make it easier for disadvantaged and vulnerable people to get care, be understood and have their needs recognised and met.
