October is #HealthLiteracyMonth! Health literacy is one’s ability to find, comprehend, and apply information to health-related decisions for themselves and others. Being health literate is an important skill to help you be prepared for everything from a routine doctor’s visit to specialty treatment and care appointments. According to the CDC, people with low health literacy are more likely to visit an emergency room; have a hospital stay; and disregard treatment plans. Low health literacy has also been linked to a higher mortality rate. Understanding health information can make the health care system easier to navigate and ultimately help improve your outcomes! Check out SWHRs health resources to begin your journey towards better #HealthLiteracy today! https://swhr.org/resources

Thank you Society for Clinical Data Management (SCDM) for hosting Kathryn Godburn Schubert as the keynote at this year's #SCDM2024 Conference. #WomensHealth
?? “You all hold the power and the key in the #data to help us make women’s health mainstream" said Kathryn Godburn Schubert President and CEO at the Society for Women's Health Research (SWHR) and this year’s keynote speaker and the #SCDM Festival Opportunity. In a thought-provoking presentation, Kathryn highlighted the need to close the women’s health gap and explored how data can be leveraged to do this. She shared strategies for using data to drive more equitable, patient-centered women's health care, from improving the diversity of study populations to incorporating gender-specific measures into digital health products. Kathryn’s keynote was truly impactful, urging us to consider how we can leverage science to influence policy and create meaningful change. ?? Kathryn opening #SCDM24 and the fireside chat with Patrick Nadolny moderated by Richard Young which followed her presentation.
