October is Health Literacy Month—a time to promote the importance of understandable health information.

There’s a lot of confusion about complementary and integrative health approaches, COVID-19, and other health topics. It can be hard to distinguish excessive claims and unsupported theories from sound, science-based information.

Our Know the Science toolkit has tools to help you better understand scientific topics related to health research. Knowing more about the science of health may help you make well-informed health decisions. The toolkit is available in English and Spanish.
