Definition of Health Literacy
“The degree to which individuals have the
capacity to obtain, communicate, process, and
understand basic health information and
services needed to make appropriate health
decisions.”
- Affordable Care Act (ACA)
What is the Greatest Predictor of
Health Outcomes?
• Age
• Race
• Income
• Education
• Employment
• Health literacy
Why Promote Health Literacy?
• Nearly 9 out of 10 adults have difficulty using
everyday health information
• Health literacy is the #1 predictor of health
outcomes
• Inmates have high incidence of chronic health
conditions (80-90% vs 50% for all US)
• Chronic health conditions account for 75% of
all health care expenditures and 70% of all
deaths
Poor Health Literacy Leads to:
• Lower use of preventive care services
• Greater use of emergency care
• Frequent hospitalizations
• Poor self-care management
• Unhealthy behaviors
• Poor health outcomes & premature deaths
• Higher health care costs (loss of $238
billion/yr)
Why Inmates & Health Literacy?
• Poor health literacy = poor health outcomes
• Low literacy levels
• High incidence of chronic health conditions
• Poor self-care management
• 9 out of 10 have no health insurance
• Frequent users of high cost emergency
services upon release
Why Inmates & Health Literacy?
Inmates Have High Incidence of
Chronic Health Conditions
• Asthma
• Hypertension
• Tuberculosis
• Diabetes
• Hepatitis
• HIV/AIDS
• Substance Abuse & Mental Health Issues
Inmates Have High Mortality Rates
After Release
• Drug overdose
• Cardiovascular disease
• Homicide
• Suicide
• Cancer
• Liver disease
• HIV
Goal of the Project
To improve the health literacy, self-care
management skills and personal health care
decision-making of inmates incarcerated in
the county jail
Objectives of the Project
• To enhance the capacity of inmates in their
understanding of locating, evaluating and
using basic health information
• To motivate inmates to take more
responsibility for their own health care
• To increase the inmate’s understanding of the
importance in seeking assistance from local
librarians after release
Experimental Design
• Target Population – adult men scheduled to be
housed in the jail more than 21 days
• Timetable – 10 weekly sessions, seven inmates
per session, involving a total of 70 inmates
• Class Format –
– Six handouts provided on day one
– Instructed classes 2.5 hrs/day – M, W, F
– Self study classes 2 hrs/day – T & Th
