Core concepts
Concept 1
Health literacy integrates credible-source evaluation, risk and benefit analysis, goal setting, refusal, communication, help-seeking, and reflection.

Concept 2

Concept 3
Emergency education emphasizes recognition, scene safety, activation of trained help, established plans, and care only within current training and authorization.
