Description
- Abstract:
- Health education and the promotion of health literacy should be patient-centered, designed with the unique needs and interests of the targeted population. 1 Particularly for children, promoting general literacy skills improves their health literacy and chance of effectively understanding and managing their own health. 2 Nearly 17% of children 2 to 19 years of age are obese in the United States, and thus there is a clear need to address this public health concern. 3 The objectives of this project include identifying children\u2019s conceptions of health, creating a literacy-based health education program, promoting development of children\u2019s healthy habits, and improving literacy among children.
