Check out our health literacy definitions and objectives
Our Healthy People 2030 definitions of personal and organizational health literacy offer a broader, more equitable perspective than the initiative’s previous definition. And a variety of Healthy People objectives are intended to improve health literacy and help people understand health information.
Learn about social determinants of health
Social determinants of health (SDOH) have a major impact on people’s health, well-being, and quality of life. Healthy People 2030 features objectives that highlight the importance of SDOH in improving health and reducing health disparities.
