Patients with low health literacy may have difficulty: Locating providers and services Filling out complex health forms Sharing their medical history with providers Seeking preventive health care Knowing the connection between risky behaviors and health Managing chronic health conditions Understanding directions on medicine (

Patients health literacy may be affected if they have: Health care providers who use words that patients dont understand Low educational skills Cultural barriers to health care Limited English Proficiency (LEP) (
