Importance of Health Literacy

Congratulations on receiving a copy of the health literacy primer “Aging and Health for the US Elderly”. You will note that the knowledgeof Part I applies to virtually all age groups, and Part II is specifically directedat today’s elderly men and women.The Cardiovascular Research Foundation and the Saint Louis University College for Public Health and Social Justice are seeking to establish the value of this health literacy provided to the elderly in the US. This education, called for by national leaders, requires beneficial outcome evidence to be extended on a broad scale nationally to other health care organizations and institutions.
We seek your participation in this limited assessment by voluntarily enrolling online here on our website.By participating in this study, you will receive a smartphone App in early 2022 which will provide direct links to multiple medical resources for the elderly. In addition to all Medicare sites (preventive and wellness), the App will store medication and vaccinehistory, provide access to your local health care system, and if desired, act as a depository or rapid locator of your independent medical data. You will be identified only by a study number, and privacy is assured by HIPAAcompliant data practices.
