Description
Health literacy is a significant factor in determining health outcomes. In the United States, approximately one-third of adults read at or below an eighth-grade level. To enhance comprehension, the Institute of Medicine suggests that health information should be written at a fifth grade reading level, employing Plain Language principles. When patients grasp the content they read, they tend to communicate more openly with healthcare providers and are more inclined to take steps toward improving their health. Our presentation will illustrate how ChatGPT can effectively and ethically educate health professions students about Plain Language writing principles.
