Using community development to build critical health literacy

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Critical health literacy is a domain of health literacy that has been presented as existing at both individual and community level with a potential to contribute to improved health outcomes and reduced inequalities. However, it remains the least well explored and researched domain of health literacy and there are few examples of initiatives designed specifically to build critical health literacy. This study explores how community development processes can be used to develop the key attributes of critical health literacy.
