So let me ask a couple of things here. First and foremost is how do we know when someone is health literate?

You know, so you bring up, actually, that's one of the questions I had, you know, when you, when anyone is, is faced with a, um, an acute event, okay. An emergency. Okay. Like, um, Or you're diagnosed, like you just said, like with a major illness like cancer or whatever.

It's like for any of us, frankly, even those of us who are trained in these fields, it's like all of a sudden it puts you in this kind of a tizzy where it's like, okay, how in the heck do I find out about this cancer or what have you? And in a way that I can act. I really can move forward with information that I truly understand.

And in a way that I can act. I really can move forward with information that I truly understand.

And the point that you bring up is the immediacy of the situation can put people, increase stress levels, et cetera, and affect their ability to understand. So the point of bringing it back to the provider, I think is really important. a good, good point. Okay.

Or ask the questions.

Or ask the questions.

So in our shows, you can imagine we've dealt with a lot of disease entities, et cetera. And we usually kind of thematically think about prevention, treatment, Disease management. Okay. So let's talk about or get your input on health literacy from a prevention standpoint. All these things that we're trying to prevent. Okay.

Help me to get my head around the idea of health literacy with all these messages that we put out around prevention.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. You know, it's interesting. There are certain things. that are required for students when they graduate. Like in the state of Minnesota, you're required to know CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitate. This would be a nice add on to that law. Imagine that, how is it that we could help increasing health literacy with some of the ideas that you were talking about? What about for us,

older people, you know, and prevention. It's like, you know, we're barraged with all these health messages on what we should do prevention wise. But many of us don't might not understand it. So how do we deal with with an older population?

So, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's interesting that, that, I mean, it's kind of logical, but it's kind of like, we all need to be reminded of a simple resource as a library to get some good information. Go ahead, Clarence.
