Fifteen lectures are developed and based on their objectives, classified into three categories:

1.   Introduction and main concepts of Health literacy (HL)

2.   Communication with clients with limited HL

3.   Interventions with clients with limited HL

For each lecture you can find the defined learning outcomes (LOs) in the “lectures overview”.

Each lecture can be used and adapted according to individual needs. In this section you will find the  PDFs available to download. You have the opportunity to make adaptations, as well as  to translate the materials into the local language. In the Handbook under “Additional materials”, you will find the PowerPoint slides directly available to download.

Finally, you can use the developed assessment tool (multiple choice and short answer questions) to test the knowledge on the lecture contents of the lectures, by using the survey link.
