HEALTH LITERACY
FUNCTIONAL
HEALTH LITERACY
The ability to understand health information sufficiently enough to take appropriate decisions about your own condition or treatment.
Understanding how we read and
recall health information is just
as important the messages
it may contain.
Those with the lowest levels
of literacy, who will need help
the most, will also be the
hardest to reach.
Digital Information is harder to
memorise and recall because
our brains will scan it
rather than read.
DIGITAL
HEALTH LITERACY
The ability to read and recall health information delivered on a digital platform, compared to reading and
recalling traditional print media.
