Health Literacy: We Need Your Help
WE MOVE is committed to improving the health literacy of people with movement disorders and of their caregivers and family members. Our first step is to understand how you currently find information and then to determine how we can help improve the process. By clicking on this link to our web site and answering the question on this week’s poll, you will help us answer the question “When your doctor uses words or tells you something that you don’t understand, what do you usually do?” We will continue to ask other questions over the next few months. Please check the web site often and help us by answering the question on each week’s poll.
