Actionable Insights: Using an Organizational Health Literacy (OHL) Approach
Main Takeaways for Health Departments and beyond
Apply an OHL approach* to all parts of your work, at every stage.
Taking an OHL approach becomes how you do the work, not something extra. You will reach your priorities with greater efficiency and effectiveness and improve how information and services engage your intended audience.
Use an OHL approach* beyond health(care) issues and settings alone.
All topics and services need an OHL approach because all kinds of information and services impact health, from healthcare to housing to work. To increase positive public health outcomes, your audience must know how to access the internet, public transportation, social and educational services, paid family and medical leave, housing, and more.
