Promoting Oral Health Literacy: A Resource Guide
Adopting health-literacy approaches benefits everyone, especially people with low literacy levels and people who speak English as a second language. Promoting Oral Health Literacy: A Resource Guide features materials on policy; professional education, tools, and training; program development; and public education. Examples of materials include a report offering guiding principles that can help Head Start staff promote health literacy, a paper discussing strategies for integrating oral health care and primary care for populations with low health literacy, and a guide describing a program that encourages parents to have a nighttime routine that includes brushing their young child’s teeth and reading them a book before bed. A list of relevant organizations is included.
