Mapping Health Literacy “Hot Spots” (HLOL #42)

by | Jul 27, 2010

Laurie Martin, ScD MPH is a policy researcher with the RAND Corporation. Her interests focus on understanding the role of health literacy from both an individual and community perspective. Among her many accomplishments, Dr. Martin and colleagues developed an interactive mapping tool that identifies health literacy “hot spots” — geographic areas of suboptimal health or healthcare that may be due to low health literacy.

A prototype is being used in Missouri. The goal is to expand nationwide, providing tools that researchers and practitioners can use to target health literacy interventions in ways that are efficient and cost-effective. In this podcast, Dr. Martin talks with Helen Osborne about:

  • Health literacy from a population perspective. How this differs from an individual perspective.
  • Using a predictive model to estimate and map community-level health literacy.
  • Lessons learned to apply on a population level, individual level, and community level.
