Health Literacy and ESL: Integrating Community Based Models for the U.S. Mexico
Description: Project Narrative There exists evidence of the benefits of incorporating health into adult education, including ESL instruction. However, the literature lacks information on interventions which have effectively used adult education for developing health literacy skills, particularly with Hispanic adults. This study will test the feasibility of using conventional ESL instruction for improving health literacy skills among Hispanic adults. The results will contribute to the literature, provide baseline data for future research, and benefit the community.
