Maybe you think of health literacy as the building blocks of knowing how to access the healthcare system, and knowing what to do when you have a cold?
Today, Dr Rachel Harris is guiding us as we consider our collective health literacy of the particular health, wellbeing and performance needs of female athletes.
Dr Harris represented Australia at the Olympics as a swimming athlete, and was the Chief Medical Officer for the Australian Paralympic team in Tokyo 2021. She leads the Australian Institute of Sport's female athlete performance and health, menstrual cycle and hormonal contraception project.
