摘要

Low health literacy is a significant problem in the United States, with more than 36 percent of the adult population (approximately 80 million people) having poor health literacy (AHRQ, 2011). While a lack of health literacy is more likely to be an issue with more vulnerable populations, the problem affects all social and demographic groups. Some of the difficulties experienced by individuals with limited health literacy include problems in communicating with clinicians, greater barriers in managing chronic illness, less likelihood of receiving preventive care, a greater likelihood of experiencing serious medication errors, increased risk of hospitalization, and poorer quality of life (AHRQ, 2011). The Institute of Medicine (IOM) Roundtable on Health Literacy focuses on bringing together leaders from the federal government, foundations, health plans, associations, and private companies to address challenges facing health literacy practice and research and to identify approaches to promote health literacy in both the public and private sectors. The roundtable serves to educate the public, press, and policy makers regarding the issues of health literacy, sponsoring workshops to discuss approaches to resolve health literacy challenges. It also builds partnerships to move the field of health literacy forward by translating research findings into practical strategies for implementation.
