Summary

This study tested whether adding pictures to medication labels helps migrant and seasonal farmworkers in South Georgia understand how to take their medicines. 87 adults received either standard labels or labels with visuals for drug name, timing, food interactions, and side effects. The goal was to see if illustrated labels improve understanding and to measure health literacy in this community.
