Data Literacy: Enhancing Trust and Transparency

Webinar

A key aspect of health literacy—especially in clinical research—is understanding what data is collected, how it is protected, and how it is used during and after a study. Truly informed consent requires transparency about data practices so that participants can make educated decisions.

The MRCT Center and PHUSE are collaborating to develop a suite of resources, including videos and infographics, to enhance data literacy in the clinical research context. Join us for this webinar as we discuss the importance of data literacy, explore practical applications for research teams, and unveil new materials designed to support participants and the broader research community.

Key Topics:

1. Advancing Data Literacy as a Component of Health Literacy
   • Explore how understanding research data supports informed decision-making and aligns with broader health literacy efforts.
2. Applying Plain Language and Visual Tools to Data Communication
   • Learn how the MRCT Center and PHUSE have used plain language and infographics to make clinical research data more accessible.
3. Empowering Participants with Transparent and Actionable Information
