Development and evaluation of a health literacy training program for allied health professionals: A pre-post study assessing impact and implementation outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: A train-the-trainer model appears to be a feasible method to disseminate health literacy training, but additional work may be needed to improve the collective work done to enable health literacy practices in real-world clinical contexts.
SO WHAT: Staff training is particularly important in highly-diverse areas where patients are disproportionately affected by low health literacy.
