MONTVALE, N.J., April 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --As a pioneering company in healthcare communications, Health Monitor Network announced the creation and funding of the first of its kind Health Equity Patient Education Longitudinal Study, led by Julius Wilder, MD, PhD, chair of the Duke University School of Medicine Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Anti-racism Committee; Vice Chair, Duke Dept of Medicine Minority Retention and Recruitment Committee; and Co-Director for the Duke CTSI-Community Engaged Research Initiative. Research shows that disparities in health outcomes are attributable to social drivers like low health literacy. Important information on health and patient education often fails to reach or resonate with underserved communities. The three-year study will examine how diverse populations respond to various patient-education tactics such as print, digital and video, with the goal of identifying the most effective methods and communication infrastructures for communicating relevant and important health information to diverse communities.

Key Points: 
  • Research shows that disparities in health outcomes are attributable to social drivers like low health literacy.
  • Important information on health and patient education often fails to reach or resonate with underserved communities.
  • Low health literacy and inadequate patient education have a negative impact on the health of communities, especially communities of color and those considered socially vulnerable.
  • Disparity in health literacy and patient education contributes to worse health outcomes, higher medical costs, longer hospital stays and greater risk of death."
