Train the Digital Health Literacy Trainer: Library and Community Partnership

Faculty from Public Health, Health Communication, and Library Services partnered to build a train the trainer program for digital health literacy. A Public Library Collaboration from the Network of the National Library of Medicine Region 6 funded the program. The award provided salaries for two digital health literacy coordinators. Coordinators interviewed area libraries and LGBTQ+ groups to produce training specific to their needs. Training videos and a website were developed and disseminated to partners. By training librarians and LGBTQ advocates to provide digital health literacy training the project has longer and wider impact than direct training.
