Health Literacy Among Australians who Speak English as a Second Language
We help to develop the skills needed to make a difference. At the root of the issue is the lack of resources available to consumers who speaks English as a second language. We aim to gather available resources and develop new health related learning materials to bridge the existing gap .
About the Project
Starting Point
Engaging with health experts, we uncovered what the most fundamental tools are for improving health literacy.
Moving Forward
Finding out the existing gaps, main enduring barriers to health literacy, as well as the most essential requirements to improve health literacy, is at the core of our mission here.
Why This Project is Important?
In 2006, almost three million Australians aged 15–74 years spoke English as a second language. The 2006 Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey found that only 25 per cent of this group had achieved a level of individual health literacy described as adequate or better, compared with 44 percent of people whose first spoken language was English.
Patient Education Resources for Non-English Speaking Consumers
Finding reliable consumer health materials in non-English languages can be difficult for those with limited health knowledge. We aim to gather all available health literacy resources in one place to make it easy to find and select from various health-related information in many languages.
