HealthLit4Kids: Improving health literacy outcomes in an Australian setting
As a co-designed, whole-of-school program, HL4K can improve health literacy teaching and learning for students, and for the communities where those students live and learn. HL4K has recently been expanded in scalable ways. Moving forward, HL4K will be hosted as an online training package for school-based facilitators, and a new social enterprise, HealthLit4Everyone, seeks to develop more services. This innovation will be delivered by local facilitators, with the potential to improve health literacy for more people, across more settings.
