Abstract
Abstract Since Healthy People 1980, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) has set 10-year targets from evidence-based recommendations to improve health, lessen health disparities and achieve health equity for all citizens of the United States. Healthy People 2030 brings a strong focus to health literacy. This column will highlight these health literacy features and suggests ways health sciences librarians and consumer health sciences librarians can work within their organizations and partner with community organizations to reach those goals.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet is the only professional peer-reviewed journal devoted to locating consumer health information via the Internet. In this journal librarians and health information providers describe programs and services aimed at helping patients and the general public find the health information they need. From the Editor: "Studies have shown that health information is one of the major reasons that people worldwide access the Internet. As the amount of health information on the Web increases exponentially, it becomes critical that librarians-including public and medical librarians-be knowledgeable about what is available online and be able to direct users to reliable, accurate, quality information."
