This course examines three typologies of health literacy: functional, interactive and critical. The course will focus on social political and cultural determinants of health discourse that distinguish health literacy from a traditional health education definition to any empowerment tool that is positioned to improve health outcomes and reduce inequalities in health delivery.
Open to Senior, Junior and Sophomore Communication majors only.
