Description
The mining industry is a challenging setting for preventive health education due to workforce diversity, demanding work roster schedules and productivity targets, coupled with a need for innovative and quality assured communication. This action research project demonstrated effective workforce engagement, evidence of digital story impact on health literacy indicators and insights into the lived experience of miners as storytellers. The findings highlight the utility of a novel health literacy measurement instrument and value of digital storytelling as a catalyst for change in complex industrial environments.
Impact and interest:
