Abstract | Health literacy describes the capacity of people to manage their health needs by obtaining, understanding and using health information. Structured interviews were conducted with health care consumers and providers to identify their views on where responsibility for health literacy lies. Patients, doctors, other health professionals, society/government, and parents were all suggested as having responsibility for health literacy. Patients overwhelmingly ascribe responsibility to themselves while health professionals doubt patient capacity to meet the responsibility. Differences in the attribution of agency for health literacy have implications for health outcomes. |
