- The grounded psychometric development and initial validation of the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) (2013, background): “Low health literacy has been reported to be associated with increased mortality [5,6], hospitalisation [7,8], lower use of preventive healthcare services [9], poor adherence to prescribed medications [10], difficulty communicating with health professionals [11], and poorer knowledge about disease pr”
- Health literacy : a prescription to end confusion (2004, result): “population as a whole, the results are consistent with previous reports that limited-literacy individuals make greater use of services designed to treat complications of disease and fewer services designed to prevent complications (Baker et al., 1998, 2002; Gordon et al., 2002; Scott et al., 2002).”
- Attitudes Toward a Potential SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine: A Survey of U.S. Adults (2020, background): “Our findings highlight the importance of social determinants of health, such as educational status (a close proxy for health literacy [21]) and race/ethnicity, and their influence on preventive health behaviors (22).”
- Is self-efficacy associated with diabetes self-management across race/ethnicity and health literacy? (2006, positive): “A growing body of research demonstrates that limited health literacy, a prevalent problem in vulnerable populations, is independently associated with poor self-rated health (23,24), higher utilization of services (25–28), fewer preventive services (29,30), and worse glycemic control and more diabete”
- Literacy and health outcomes (2006, methodology): “Two studies dealt with the relationship between literacy levels and three measures of health promotion and disease prevention interventions (screening for sexually transmitted diseases, cancer screening, and immunizations).(23,24) In adjusted analyses, a reading level at or above the ninth grade was”
- The Single Item Literacy Screener: Evaluation of a brief instrument to identify limited reading ability (2006, background): “There is increasing evidence supporting an association between limited reading ability, and increased utilization of health care services [2,3], decreased use of preventive health care services [4-7], and poorer health outcomes in adults with chronic disease.”
- How numeracy influences risk comprehension and medical decision making. (2009, neutral): “Further down the potential causal path from patient understanding to health behaviors and outcomes (as depicted in Figure 1), health literacy as measured by the TOHFLA has also been associated with lower utilization of preventive medical services, such as routine immunizations, Pap smears, and mammo”
