Health literacy and public institutions – what are the responsibilities of professional actors? Conference of students for students

On Monday, March 4, and Tuesday, March 5, the student conference “Health literacy and public institutions: What are the responsibilities of professional actors?” will take place at the University of Bremen. Health literacy enables people to make decisions regarding their own health. However, different population groups have differing capabilities for obtaining, understanding, evaluating and implementing health-related information and decisions. An important issue from a public health ethics perspective is determining who is responsible for failing to strengthen health literacy, especially among vulnerable and/or marginalized groups. The conference provides new impetus for this question with keynote speeches, student lectures and discussion panels.
