Development of a Communication Intervention for Older Adults With Limited Health Literacy: Photo Stories to Support Doctor–Patient Communication

Abstract: Successful doctor-patient communication relies on appropriate levels of communicative health literacy, the ability to deal with and communicate about health information.

Several studies have described the development of their narrative health materials, including a HIV prevention video for company workers in Ecuador ( Del Carmen Cabezas et al, 2015 ), a depression fotonovela for Latinos with limited English proficiency ( Cabassa et al, 2012 ), photo stories for older adults with limited health literacy ( Koops Van ‘t Jagt et al, 2016 ), stories on obesity prevention ( Zwald et al, 2013 ), and narratives for the African American community on breast cancer screening ( Kreuter et al, 2008 ), HIV prevention ( Berkley-Patton et al, 2009 ), smoking cessation ( Houston et al, 2011 ), and hypertension management ( Fix et al, 2012 ). The majority of these studies focused on minority groups and, either implicitly or explicitly, addressed the health disparities gap.…”
