Health Literacy

Through a two-year grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services/National Institute on Aging (DHHS/NIA), a research team from the University of Georgia is working in partnership with MOWAA. The project will develop new, descriptive information about health literacy among rural and urban adults and test a model designed to help homebound seniors better understand health information, so that they can make more informed decisions about the health care they receive.
