- W4362573485 abstract "In Africa, vis-à-vis the fact that Africans are generally and comparatively not health-literate, this chapter includes (but is not limited to) a key conceptual definition of health literacy and its contextualisation. In doing so, this chapter also discusses the pitfalls of the current health structure in Africa, looking at the underlying reasons exacerbating the increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) on the continent and introduces a stated preference discrete choice health literacy intervention framework for the control of NCDs. It also provides age-sex disease prevalence in Cameroon and general aspects of health promotion and disease prevention strategies with respect to NCDs. Health literacy is an indispensable key component of ensuring a healthy condition in individuals that transcends into the entire community (Adams et al, 2009; Dodson et al, 2015), if individuals are knowledgeable in health information, and are able to synthesise it, use it through their individual convictions for decision-making and consequently, improve their health, then the entire community is bound to be healthy (Remais et al, 2012; Dodson et al, 2015; WHO, 2016). However, such access to health information remains under-utilised thus far (O’Sullivan et al, 2003; Baye and Fambon, 2010). The function of health literacy in ensuring a healthy condition in individuals and communities is especially relevant in Africa, which is plagued with high endemic diseases, and in settings in which healthcare resources and infrastructure are, for the most part, limited (O’Sullivan et al, 2003; Remais et al, 2012). There is therefore a need to evolve an appropriate health literacy intervention for individuals in Africa (Remais et al, 2012; Wiesner and Pfeifer, 2013)." @default.
