Series Description

FDA's mission is to "protect the public's health." To achieve this mission, FDA staff need to be aware of the current and emerging research trends relative to minority health and health equity. The purpose of this series is to implement interactive 4-hour cultural competency trainings for FDA staff. The goal is to improve the accessibility of culturally competent health education materials, programs, and resources for consumers. The training will be tailored for health educators, health communications specialists, public health advisors, public affairs specialists, and others working in the space.

Lecture Description
Health literacy is a key factor in addressing health disparities, particularly those impacted by race, ethnicity, education and economic levels. Making the best decisions and taking positive actions toward better health requires the ability to obtain, communicate, process and understand essential health information, which is the definition of health literacy.

As health communications professionals or materials developers, your role is to create messages and outreach strategies, design materials and campaigns, and implement dissemination plans to help individuals, families and communities build their literacy around health and well‐being issues and concerns that require their attention and action. The goal is to provide a compelling message that will influence and motivate individuals toward adopting new behaviors or changing current behaviors for more positive health outcomes.
