Description

Abstract:: Limited health literacy is known to create barriers in communication between healthcare providers and their patients. Often, this can lead to misuse of medications, learning and adopting positive health behaviors, and poorer health outcomes overall. Studies have shown that using simple communication aids such as visual instructions can improve health literacy. This QI projects aims to create a diabetes education video about the basics of diabetes and blood glucose monitoring, tailored to a specific underserved population, and to test its efficacy.
