This webinar is Part 1 of the webinar series, Facts or Fakes? Promoting Health Literacy Skills with Your Students

This first webinar in the series defines key terms, provides field-based examples and discusses the intersection of health literacy and health equity.

Rapidly evolving evidence and changing guidance, as well as rampant and politicized misinformation and disinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic pose challenges for health literacy, including mental health literacy. It is unknown how many students are familiar with these concepts nor how many campus personnel, including college health professionals and mental health providers, are familiar with current techniques and strategies for teaching students about digital health literacy.
