Resources

Trusted public health information, in one place.

The following resources are provided as a reference for community members, health department staff, partner organizations, and anyone navigating the public health system. All links go to primary sources.

Why It Matters

Health literacy is not a soft skill. It is a determinant of outcomes.

Nine out of ten adults struggle to use the everyday health information that is routinely available in health care facilities, retail outlets, media, and communities. Low health literacy is associated with worse health outcomes, higher hospitalization rates, and lower use of preventive services.

CMN Solutions builds every program with health literacy as a design constraint, not a communication add-on. The resources on this page reflect that same standard: primary sources, plain-language where possible, and directly actionable.
