Health Literacy and social determinant of Health . How can health literacy contributed to greater equity in health Present by Prof. Don Nutbeam (10th AHLA Conference At Ho Chi Minh City 15 May 2024) In this video, Don Nutbeam explains health literacy and its relationship to social determinants of health, emphasizing that inequalities in access to information directly affect the quality of life of disadvantaged populations. The key strategy presented is a Dual Track Framework, which focuses on developing individual skills while simultaneously reducing the complexity of healthcare systems on the provider side. The video also advocates for Proportionate Universalism as a policy approach — distributing resources and information in proportion to the level of need and hardship faced by different groups, ensuring a fairer allocation. Finally, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and the transformation of organizations into Health Literate Organizations (HLOs) are highlighted as essential tools for building equity and empowering people to make effective health decisions in the digital age.
