Alyssa’s project is Improving Health Literacy and Access in Incarcerated Populations, which will focus on providing information to currently or recently incarcerated individuals about common health conditions and how to access healthcare resources after they are out of incarceration. This will be done through communicating with currently or recently incarcerated individuals about what they want to know, communicating with health professionals about where they see a lack of healthcare resources are, and then creating different resources and workshops that address these concerns. The goal of the project is to empower incarcerated individuals to make informed and safe decisions regarding their health, currently and after incarceration.
