Leena Pakkari, Marlene Meyer, Cara Krudewig (both @whocc-hl.bsky.social), and @kdadaczynski.bsky.social! We sure didn’t answer all the questions, but the session did a great job illustrating the sheer complexity of advancing school health literacy.

2 days of #EPH2025 so far, including our pre-conference workshop on #healthliteracy and a roundtable on #mentalhealth. To me, the essence seems to be: - there are no simple or easy solutions - individual interventions won‘t be the answer - we need political support, cross-sectoral collaboration

Just had the loveliest encounter. The person who picked me up from the airport showed me around and told me about the time he grew up around Vantaa. Where he used to race his friends on his motorcycle, which building used to be a sugar factory, printing company and whatnot. First impression: 👍

Dear #healthliteracy & #healthcommunication people: are you aware of (visual) information materials for schools and Kindergarten that are used to promote #diseaseprevention? Not regarding washing hands but more about keeping children at home when they are unwell. Thanks!

Don Nutbeam: most health information materials are written at a reading level that the majority of the population does not achieve. #ChatGPT, when used under human supervision, can quickly improve those materials and translate them to the most-spoken languages #EPH2024 #healthliteracy

Diane Levin Zamir @ #EPH2024: Using #AI, we can build apps that are highly personalized and that are effective in motivating users to improve #healthbehavior. Also, underserved and at-risk groups might be reached, reducing the #healthinequalities gap!

Miguel Telo de Arriaga: we need to get comfortable with regulating #Al even when there's uncertainty. We're not going to get it right the first, second, or third time. This is also important for the public to understand

Torsten Bollweg @tbollweg.bsky.social · 14/11/2024
Diane Levin Zamir: Also with Al, you need to check sources and the reliability of responses. But when there's a #Al tool you can trust, it can improve clinical practice.

Nancy Gullett @ #EPH2024: in order for children to become health literate, first, schools need to become health literate themselves. #healthliteracy #healthliterateorganizations

. @profsoniaksaxena.bsky.social @ #EPH2024: we need to be looking for solutions outside of the medical setting. E.g., implementing regular physical activity over the day, starting in school, will have many benefits #healthliteracy

Stephan van den Broucke: #healthliteracy has been around at the European Public Health Conference for a while now. 1000s of entries in PubMed each year. Still an expanding concept. Different competencies are needed to deal with health information than 40-50 years ago. @eupha.bsky.social #EPH2024
