Health Literacy Review

March 28, 2022 by Dense Breast Info

Health literacy is the extent to which a person can receive, process, and understand health information to improve communication with their doctors and equip them to advocate for their own well-being. To evaluate DBI patient materials, we have embarked on content review in conjunction with a health literacy expert. This will be a multi-month project, but we wanted to share some early updates to DBI popular content:

  1. Dense Breasts: 5 Facts You Should Know
  2. New Question, “I have dense breasts and cancer might be missed on my mammogram. What else can I do?” .

National Physicians Week:
Today begins National Physicians week in the U.S.  We recognize and thank DBI’s stellar team of medical advisors and educators! Look for social media posts this week.
