What is the Greatest Predictor of Health Outcomes?
• Age• Race• Income• Education• Employment• Health literacy
![Page 6: Promoting Health Literacy with inmates #priesterhealth 2013](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051613/54c7aa0e4a7959532b8b4569/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why Promote Health Literacy?
• Nearly 9 out of 10 adults have difficulty using everyday health information
• Health literacy is the #1 predictor of health outcomes
• Inmates have high incidence of chronic health conditions (80-90% vs 50% for all US)
• Chronic health conditions account for 75% of all health care expenditures and 70% of all deaths
![Page 7: Promoting Health Literacy with inmates #priesterhealth 2013](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051613/54c7aa0e4a7959532b8b4569/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Poor Health Literacy Leads to:• Lower use of preventive care services• Greater use of emergency care• Frequent hospitalizations• Poor self-care management• Unhealthy behaviors• Poor health outcomes & premature deaths• Higher health care costs (loss of $238
billion/yr)
![Page 8: Promoting Health Literacy with inmates #priesterhealth 2013](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051613/54c7aa0e4a7959532b8b4569/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why Inmates & Health Literacy?
• Poor health literacy = poor health outcomes• Low literacy levels• High incidence of chronic health conditions• Poor self-care management• 9 out of 10 have no health insurance• Frequent users of high cost emergency
services upon release

![Page 11: Promoting Health Literacy with inmates #priesterhealth 2013](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051613/54c7aa0e4a7959532b8b4569/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Inmates Have High Mortality Rates After Release
• Drug overdose• Cardiovascular disease• Homicide• Suicide• Cancer• Liver disease• HIV
![Page 12: Promoting Health Literacy with inmates #priesterhealth 2013](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051613/54c7aa0e4a7959532b8b4569/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Goal of the Project
To improve the health literacy, self-care management skills and personal health care decision-making of inmates incarcerated in the county jail
![Page 13: Promoting Health Literacy with inmates #priesterhealth 2013](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051613/54c7aa0e4a7959532b8b4569/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Objectives of the Project
• To enhance the capacity of inmates in their understanding of locating, evaluating and using basic health information
• To motivate inmates to take more responsibility for their own health care
• To increase the inmate’s understanding of the importance in seeking assistance from local librarians after release
