| The Internet and other interactive health technologies are giving public health practitioners powerful new tools for improving the health of individuals and communities. But how exactly can practitioners tap into the potential of this new wave, without leaving behind important segments of society? This session will focus on the current value, utility, and efficacy of information and communication technologies for improving health and health care, while highlighting the latest issues concerning culture, ethnicity, literacy, and privacy. At its conclusion, participants should have an improved understanding of how to weave new technologies into the continuum of prevention, clinical care, and health management. Learning objectives: 1) identify the most current and effective applications of new health technologies 2) understand how culture, ethnicity, and literacy may affect individual's use of digital media 3) know where to access guidelines on quality of interactive health information, privacy, and confidentiality | ||||
