Concepts of Health and Illness

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Health Communication
    • Health Equity

    Background:

    • The Albuquerque COVID-19 Health Literacy Project (AHLP) was a multi-partner initiative in Albuquerque, New Mexico (2021-2023).
    • The project aimed to reduce COVID-19 health disparities by building a network of Community Health Workers (CHWs) skilled in health literacy (HL).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and implement a training infrastructure for CHWs focused on HL strategies for COVID-19 health promotion.
    • To integrate HL best practices into community-based outreach and services.
    • To monitor and visualize data to identify needs and track project impact.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted 10 trainings via video conference and in-person events, teaching Teach Back and plain language strategies.
    • CHWs utilized diverse outreach methods including events, phone calls, and individual/group meetings.
    • Collected and visualized data on needs, outreach activities, and population health indicators.

    Main Results:

    • Reached 44,690 individuals, exceeding the goal by 2.5 times.
    • 72% of clients reported likelihood to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
    • Reduced the COVID-19 booster gap in high Social Vulnerability Index areas by nearly 3-fold within 6 months.

    Conclusions:

    • CHWs found HL practices valuable, reframing plain language as empowering.
    • Adaptations were necessary for implementing Teach Back in non-clinical community settings.
    • CHWs successfully integrated and innovated HL tools within their existing community work.
