ForwardUsing Narrative Video to Promote Health Literacy
Reality Check:
- 48% of American adults experience anxiety about doctor’s visits.
- 40% of American adults put off seeing their doctor because of healthcare anxiety.
- 36% of U.S. adults have basic or below-basic health literacy.
Patients with low health literacy are more likely to have more healthcare needs.
The Good News: In one patient poll, 87% of respondents stated that they trust their healthcare provider. How do we leverage this trust to increase health literacy (and vice versa)? By adopting a narrative approach.
Target Audience
Primary Care Physicians, Specialty Physicians, Pharmacists, Psychologists, Physician Assistants/Associates, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Social Workers, Patient Education Teams, Health Literacy Educators
