| October is Health Literacy Month! You’re invited to join us on Thursday, October 30, 2025 from 12 – 1 PM EDT for a webinar to explore teach-back (TB) within the clinical research context. We will begin by describing teach-back and its essential elements, how to use it, and why it is important to safe, high-quality, equitable health care and research. We will then move on to explore approaches for incorporating teach-back into different types of clinical research conversations. The session will center on the importance of strong verbal communication skills and the ways teach-back can be used by study teams to foster clear, impactful, and empowering dialogue with patients, participants, and caregivers. The goals are to explore how study teams can simplify complex verbal information through plain language, assess and confirm understanding via teach-back throughout the recruiting and informed consent process, and support participant understanding throughout their clinical research experience. Registrants will receive tips and resources to support incorporating this best practice into their everyday clinical research processes. Objectives: By the end of the session, participants should be able to:
- Explain what teach-back is, its importance, and why to use it;
- Describe approaches that support incorporating teach-back into clinical research conversations across the clinical trial life cycle;
- Identify and access resources that explain how to use teach-back.
