Low health literacy is a critical issue among adults, with over
one-third found to have difficulty understanding such basic
information as that found on prescription bottles. This is the
first graduate textbook to address key health literacy issues as
they affect the health and wellbeing of the ageing population.
Embracing a topic spanning numerous disciplines, it features a
dynamic, multiple contextual systems approach and includes
contributions from renowned scholars and practitioners in
gerontology, public health, social work, nursing, and other related
fields. The text emphasises increasing health literacy among older
adults through the use of technological tools and features the most
current research, evidence-based programs, and practices. It
provides expansive coverage of the intersection of technology and
health literacy, highlighting innovative approaches and discussing
how to use technology with resource-limited groups, and gives
special consideration to rural, impoverished, culturally diverse,
and low literacy elders and presents gold standard intervention
programs and models. Also covered are the policy implications of
programs focusing on increasing health literacy and future
directions for meeting the Healthy People 2020 initiative. Case
studies, review questions, accompanying PowerPoint lectures,
learning objectives, will reinforce learning. Key Features:

of Healthy People 2020. Incorporates research and practice from

medicine, and nursing. Includes case studies, review questions,
