ROCKVILLE, MD – Clearfont Media's Bill Weger, Senior Partner and Founder, received a 2014 Communicator Award of Distinction for his Public Relations Tactics column on “The ABCs of Health Literacy.” Tactics is published monthly by the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA).
Only 12 percent of consumers have proficient health literacy skills, according to a National Assessment of Adult Literacy. Low health literacy can affect one’s ability to:
• Read prescription drug labels • Fill out medical forms • Locate health providers
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, Title V, defines health literacy as “the degree to which an individual has the capacity to obtain, communicate, process and understand basic health information and services to make appropriate health decisions.”
