Your infographic might be working against you. I used the Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) to audit a public health infographic from the American Cancer Society. Three things I found worth fixing:

Irrelevant illustrations distract from the message. Passive voice hides who should act. Facts alone do not clarify what actions a reader should take.

I also get into why health equity belongs in "general audience" communications. Read more at my (newly off of LinkedIn) blog: https://samuelanimates.com/blog/001-health-literacy-infographic/

@RKI
International hat Gesundheitskompetenz eine viel größere Bedeutung als in Deutschland.
Während wir über die Kosten der GKV streiten, ist international längst anerkannt, dass Arztzentrierung und hohe Ausgaben nicht zu besseren Ergebnissen führen.
Besser sind niedrigschwellige, lokale Angebote, in denen Pflegefachpersonen eine größere Rolle spielen.
#HealthLiteracy und #HealthEquity werden in solchen Systemen zusammengedacht. Bei uns sterben die armutsbetroffenen Gruppen viel früher.

5) SoMe media platforms can shut down/ban content that promotes the sale or use of kratom, so wellness marketers may call it a "botanical energy brew” or a tonic. This bypasses safety filters and makes a pharmacologically active product sound like groceries. #HealthLiteracy

According to WHO, Health Literacy is "being able to access, understand, appraise and use information and services in ways that promote and maintain good health and well-being". Health literacy can help us be better equipped to talk to professionals, speak up for ourselves and others, and see better outcomes from healthcare.

Across a woman’s life there are three major physiological transitions: puberty, pregnancy/childbirth, and menopause.
Medicine tends to treat them as separate stories. Lived experience often doesn’t.
This essay explores a single regulatory pattern that reappears across these stages — sometimes as overwhelm, sometimes as crisis, sometimes much later as muscle cramps or autonomic symptoms — not as pathology, but as boundary dynamics under changing conditions.
It’s about recognition, not diagnosis.
About regulation, not “coping better”.
And about why many women sense continuity where systems see fragments.
If this resonates — for you, your daughters, or your patients — you’re not imagining the pattern.

Many are learning about the prostate only after Biden's aggressive cancer diagnosis, showing a real gap in health knowledge. For men, this gland is vital. Regular checks are essential. #ProstateHealth #MensHealth #HealthLiteracy
