In supporting NNLM’s initiative to enhance health literacy by increasing public access to reliable health information and improving health professionals’ ability to find and use high-quality biomedical resources, we will leverage engaging, community-driven efforts such as the Sugar and Sodium Shockers to attract and connect individuals with essential NNLM materials. This interactive display raises awareness about the impact of added sugars and sodium on overall health through hands-on activities and engaging visual displays, helping participants identify high-sugar and high-sodium foods, understand the effects of glycosylation on the cardiovascular system, interpret nutritional labels, and explore healthier dietary choices. By providing high-quality nutrition education to underserved communities in the Deep South, we align with NNLM’s mission to improve health behaviors, reduce health disparities in preventable chronic diseases, and enhance public health literacy. Our outreach efforts integrate community-driven and technology-supported solutions, ensuring individuals in Mississippi and Alabama have access to the knowledge they need to make informed dietary choices and foster long-term wellness.
