Search Smart for Your Health - A Statewide Health Literacy Campaign.

The Georgia Health Sciences Library Association (GHSLA) and the Georgia Alliance for Health Literacy (GAHL) partnered to educate residents about reliable health information online to raise health literacy awareness across the state of Georgia. The two groups received a gubernatorial declaration designating October as Health Literacy Month in Georgia. Information was posted online and demonstration workshops were held. The networking opportunities that resulted have allowed for additional partnerships and grant support to address the vital health literacy information needs of those with health disparities through clinician training and additional workshops.
