Health Literacy

This webinar, held on January 15, 2025, as part of the JA PreventNCD initiative, explored how improving health literacy can address inequities in cancer and non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

Key topics included organizational health literacy, presented by Christa Straßmayr (Austrian National Public Health Institute), and mental health literacy, discussed by Johanna Cresswell-Smith (Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare).

Moderated by Peder Ringnes Berrefjord (Norwegian Directorate of Health), the session offered practical insights into how strengthening systems and empowering individuals can foster equitable access to health information and services across Europe.
