This compact resource presents current data on health literacy as
it affects child health outcomes, with a sharp focus on improving
communication between healthcare providers and pediatric patients
and their families. A frequently overlooked social determinant of
health in children, health literacy is shown as a critical skill
for patients and families and a key aspect of patient engagement.
The authors' evidence-based survey pinpoints common problems in
healthcare providers' verbal and written communication with
pediatric patients, their parents, and/or caregivers. Readers will
learn about practical health literacy strategies for addressing and
preventing miscommunication at the individual and systems levels.
These improvements are linked to immediate results (e.g., greater
compliance, fewer medication errors) as well as improved long-term
child health outcomes, including reduced health disparities and
enhanced quality of life into adulthood. This transformative guide:
Defines optimum health communication as necessary for working with
all patients Identifies common barriers to clear health
communication Traces the relationship between health literacy and
child health outcomes, from the prenatal period and into young
adulthood Offers guidelines for creating effective patient
education materials and a safe, health literacy oriented
patient-centered environment Integrates health literacy into health
systems' quality improvement plans Health Literacy and Child Health
Outcomes informs students in MPH programs as well as public health
scientists and scholars, and can also serve as an introductory text
for students in public health ethics or a general applied ethics
course. Public health professionals in diverse contexts such as
local health departments and nonprofit organizations will
appreciate its robust approach to ethical practice, professional
development, and systems improvement. This will be a helpful guide
for introducing health communication topics in medical education
and allied health. Lastly, clinicians taking care of pediatric
patients will find concise information and practical advice to
apply in the clinical setting.
