A panel of senior level officials and key stakeholders will present the data, the implications, and the strategy to utilize the findings to galvanize policy development, research, and public attention.<\/p>\n<p>PIAAC is a groundbreaking survey of adult cognitive and workforce skills that builds on previous studies, including NALS, NAAL, and IALS.\u00a0\u00a0 Designed to be delivered by computer, PIAAC provides direct, adaptive assessment of adults aged 16-65.\u00a0 In addition to providing information on the level and distribution of these skills in 24 countries, the study enables researchers to explore the relationship between these findings and a broad range of background data, including educational attainment, workplace experiences and skills, and use of information and communications technology. The findings also enable analysis into the relationship of skill level to labor market outcomes such as employment status, earnings, job security, and opportunities for ongoing education and training, and social outcomes such as health status, civic engagement, and social trust.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Country Report, released by the OECD on the same day, will add contextual dimensions of race, ethnicity, and labor market conditions as they affect different age groups, skill levels, and social outcomes. Taken together, this data will enable health-focused professionals, businesses, organizations, and individuals to evaluate the relationships between the skills and contexts of U.S. adults and several health measures.<\/p>\n<p>Also released on October 8 will be access to the international dataset as well as the U.S. country variables, a web-based tool called the Data Explorer, a First Look Report produced by NCES, a media kit, and a web portal that will aggregate forthcoming policy and research analyses and announcements for data trainings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2013 Agenda &nbsp; Monday October 28, 2013 8:00am \u2013 9:00am Breakfast 9:00am \u2013 9:45am Keynote Address: Romana Hasnain-Wynia&nbsp; PCORI\u2019s Role in Creating a Research Agenda to Reduce Disparities and Improve Health Outcomes 9:45am \u2013 10:45am Plenary Session: Ruth Parker &amp; Lyla Hernandez&nbsp; Health Literacy and the Affordable Care Act Kavita Patel Victor Wu Jason Montrie [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1428,"featured_media":0,"parent":1581,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/healthliteracyconference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1346"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/healthliteracyconference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/healthliteracyconference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/healthliteracyconference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1428"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/healthliteracyconference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1346"}],"version-history":[{"count":50,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/healthliteracyconference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1346\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1585,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/healthliteracyconference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1346\/revisions\/1585"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/healthliteracyconference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/healthliteracyconference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
