3 What is literacy? Learning to read? Acquiring numeracy skills? Reading to learn? The ability to change the world? What, then, is Health Literacy? 3

4 At the most basic level Everyday problems and skills Take 1 pill 3 times daily 245 mg sodium Trans fat 3g Radiography Health is increasingly complex Increasing amount of health knowledge New areas of research and practice (genomics) More global movement of people and ideas New and emerging infectious diseases Increasing numbers of immigrants, elderly A changing global burden of disease from acute to chronic diseases 4

5 Increasingly complex health systems Health systems trying to reform globally Health information = multiplication of sources Health insurance = complex bureaucracy Chronic disease prevention = lifestyle changes Chronic disease treatment = self-management often involving technology Acute issues = doctor/patient communication Medical mistakes = checklists; navigation Low health literacy causes poorer health Multiple studies reporting Poorer overall health Less likely to make use of screening and preventive services Present for health care in later stages of disease More likely to be hospitalized Poorer understanding of treatment and their own health Lower adherence to medical regimens Lower referrals to kidney transplants Die earlier Cost more 5
