We are delighted to have Colm Burke, Minister of State with special responsibility for Public Health, Wellbeing and the National Drug Strategy to launch the Health Literacy Report on 24th September 2024 in the Finglas Youth Resource Centre, Dublin 11.

What will the Sláintecare Healthy Communities Health Literacy Report Cover?

The Sláintecare Healthy Communities report outlines how low levels of health literacy in Ireland might be improved. The study was conducted by Dublin City University in conjunction with Dublin City Council and Mayo County Council.

This innovative research has already garnered significant positive attention with findings presented at a recent webinar and at the Global Health Literacy Summit in Rotterdam last week. An invitation has also been received to deliver a workshop presentation at the European Public Health Conference in Lisbon later this year.

A link to download the report will be provided on this website following the launch.
