Module 4: Implementation Strategies for Rural Health Literacy Programs

Each rural health program designed to improve health literacy is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all implementation strategy. Successful programs identify existing resources and best practices and then tailor them to address their community's needs. This module identifies key concepts to consider when implementing a program to improve personal and organizational health literacy.

For a broad overview of rural program implementation, see Implementing a Rural Community Health Program in the Rural Community Health Toolkit. For more specific considerations for implementing particular program models or approaches to address health literacy, see Program Models.
