Attendees learn about digital health literacy at a recent workshop presented by Wisconsin Health Literacy<\/p><\/div>\n

Although weather has forced some workshops to be rescheduled, the project has seen initial success with over 40 residents receiving training on searching for trustworthy health information, evaluating sources, navigating mobile vs. computer, and finding sites in other languages.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve used a computer, but have never searched like this before. This was really helpful.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Workshop Participant<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t use computers, but my daughter looks stuff up for me. Now I can know what to tell her to do and where to go.<\/em>\u201d \u2013 Workshop Participant<\/p>\n

Over the coming months, Wisconsin Health Literacy will provide more than 20 additional workshops, in addition to special train-the-trainer sessions with public library staff to provide resources that will help community members find reliable and trustworthy health information online.<\/p>\n
