This video highlights the need for effective communication in medicine and public health. Adults with low literacy skills sharing their experiences with the health care system. It also features public health professionals discussing the impact of low literacy on health, and health care providers talking about the role of literacy in interactions with patients. The 15 minute video also suggests communications strategies. You can preview the video at: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/healthliteracy/video.html You can link to the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy's (NCSALL) website from there, to order the video.

You might also want to check out a health literacy video produced by Dr. Rima Rudd, of the Harvard School of Public Health & NCSALL. While it's similar in it's message to the AMA piece, I find the tone to be more respectful of adult learners. I believe that it also includes some interesting scenarios taking place in pharmacies and related to navigating hospital corridors. Additionally, I work for the Adult Literacy Media Alliance, which will soon be creating TV411 health Smarts Kit, which will include a 40 minute videotape with segments on numerous health literacy topics.
