17th Health Literacy Annual Research Conference (HARC)

The Health Literacy 17th Annual Research Conference is organized by Institute for Healthcare Advancement (IHA) and will be held from Oct 27 - 28, 2025.

Description:
The Health Literacy Annual Research Conference (HARC) is the leading interdisciplinary meeting dedicated to advancing the science of health literacy. Each year, it convenes researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and educators from across medicine, public health, the social sciences, communication, and education to share cutting-edge studies, methods, and interventions that shape how health information is understood and used. HARC provides a rigorous, research-focused forum that emphasizes measurement, evaluation, and evidence-based approaches while fostering collaboration and mentorship, particularly for early-career investigators. By bridging research and practice, the conference serves as a vital platform for strengthening the field of health literacy and translating findings into meaningful improvements in health communication, health care delivery, and public health outcomes.

It is an opportunity to advance the field of health literacy, a method to raise the quality of our research, and a venue for professional development. Our aim is to attract a full range of investigators engaged in health literacy research including those involved in a broad array of public health, health services, epidemiology, translational, and interventional research activities.
