  • Second item

  • Third item

Being literate in health requires reading comprehension, research-performing skills, as well as critical thinking skills.

Although health information can be easy to find online, not all content is trustworthy.

Some information can be presented to maximize views for financial rewards, from sponsored links or paid ads, rather than be presented for accuracy.

Health Literacy

Completing health-related critical thinking exercises helps us to improve our health literacy!

Medication Literacy

Medication Literacy

Correctly interpreting and following the directions on a medication label is an example of medication literacy.

Being engaged with our health, by knowing the names of the medications we take, the reasons we take them, as well as being able to ask any questions we have about them, is a sign of medication literacy.

Some medications are only available in a certain strength or concentration; for the dose we need, we must sometimes use basic math skills.

Correctly performing medication calculations is a sign of medication literacy.
