Bull City Strong: Improving Health Literacy in Durham to Further an Equitable Community Response to COVID-19
With help from a generous grant funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Minority Health, LATIN-19 is thrilled to be able to partner with the Durham Department of Public Health, NC Central University and Project ACCESS on a two year, $2 million project that will utilize strategies and lessons learned during the pandemic to impact COVID-19 outcomes and more broadly address equity moving forward.
We will work collaboratively to:
Develop and disseminate health information that is accurate, accessible, and actionable, with a focus on improving access for individuals with limited digital access
Promote behavior change for Durham community members to increase their access to medically accurate health information, informed decision making and timely utilization of high quality health services
Expand local efforts to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate health information services.
Examples from this effort:
