Patient Education and Counselling, 11/10/09
Jordan JE et al. – This study identifies key abilities patients identified as critical to seek, understand and utilise information in the healthcare setting. These abilities are not reflected in existing measures for health literacy. Future measures of health literacy could consider incorporating abilities identified in this study and may provide guidance in developing health interventions to assist patients to participate effectively in their health. More comprehensive measures to assess patient's health literacy are needed.
