Raising the influence of community voices on health equity RENATA SCHIAVO The USA ranks #41 in infant mortality rates, with death rates 2.4 times higher among African-Americans than non-Hispanic whites - and near the bottom in healthy life expectancy at age 60. Despite facts like these, only 59% of US adults are aware of inequalities in the health experience of different US groups. In this presentation, Renata explains what health equity means and why it is so important. She then describes some of the work of Health Equity Initiative (HEI), as well as Health Equity Exchange, one of HEI's programs, which aims to encourage community dialogue and participation on defining key priorities and issues in making progress towards health equity. > Read Renata's Guest Effective communication about obesity and weight loss CHRISTINA ZARCADOOLAS Overweight and obesity are chronic conditions affecting approximately 68% of adults and 32% of children in the United States, and these figures (and waistlines) are not shrinking. The aim of this study was to apply an ecological model of health literacy to better understand both consumer needs and provider issues relating to overweight and obesity, and use this information to develop tools and materials to assist with weight loss. Read on for further details of the study, the common themes that emerged from discussions with both consumers and healthcare providers, and the actions that are being made as a result. A forgotten community: Improving access to healthcare for the deaf DANIELLE DAVOLI The Deaf represent a large medically underserved population.

This provides a conceptual framework for communicators to understand health behaviour, in order to enhance health, prevent disease, and advance the science of health promotion.
