An Inter‐sectoral Approach for Improving Health Literacy for Canadians
|
|
The Approach identifies the importance of improving health literacy as a crucial component of the determinants of health. Its three fundamental components are intended to guide and encourage collective and cohesive actions at federal, provincial/territorial, and local levels that will result in the enhanced health literacy of all Canadians. Groups are invited to review the Approach and discuss the application of the ideas to their own contexts and health literacy work and provide feedback on how the framework could be improved to better support their health literacy work.

Canada's low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines: communicating alcohol-related health risks
|
|
This resource was developed to assist healthcare providers in discussing with their clients the risks of several serious illnesses associated with various levels of alcohol consumption. Tables 1, 2 and 3 are taken from the technical, scientific report that provided the basis for Canada’s Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines. They show changes in the risk for a selected number of serious alcohol-related illnesses based on how many drinks a person consumes on average per day. These estimates were based on an analysis of a comprehensive database of scientific studies commissioned as an internal document by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
