Next, HCEA received a health literacy grant from the Middle Atlantic Region of the Network of National Libraries of Medicine for the literature search. Following the search, 10,000 article titles and abstracts were reviewed to understand the studies/evidence, application to guidelines and level of evidence The strategies used in the guidelines will be reviewed including application in clinical setting.
The Language of Health: An Editorial Style Guide to Effectively Communicate to the Public
We cannot deny the power of language. Through words, we share our feelings, emotions, and thoughts. Through language, we convey meaning. This meaning may be subtle, but its power is not. We can affect others. We can create change. This presentation will introduce the audience to The Language of Health: An Editorial Style Guide to Effectively Communicate to the Public. Participants will learn key takeaways to guide developing nutrition and health messages that are accurate, persuasive, and consistent.
