Best Practices for Health Communication for Adults with Intellectual Disability

Description

The ability of healthcare practitioners to communicate effectively with their patients is critical. This project aims to identify best practices in providing health-related communication that supports the ability of adults with ID to gain knowledge about their chronic conditions (such as diabetes or high blood pressure) and learn skills to increase their ability to manage these conditions. The project’s activities include a scoping review of the literature related to knowledge translation, providing cognitive support, and improving health literacy.
