Community Health Educators (CHEs) are volunteers trained through Northwestern University’s current Access to Health initiative to educate low-literacy community members, who do not have access to vital health information. Utilizing an active engagement method can improve learning and retention of information by the CHEs and similar audiences. An example of this is drawing, which can help educate and empower CHEs to teach health topics to low-literacy community members.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Biocommunication}, author={Selagea, Arianna and Lebowicz, Leah and Bond, Samantha and Daugherty, John}, year={2019}, month={Nov.} }
