?:abstract
  • In this chapter, we examine whether and how health is related to adult literacy and numeracy. A social determinants of health model is applied to elucidate how literacy and numeracy may facilitate access to health-promoting opportunities and resources. Health literacy is differentiated from print literacy. We highlight two prevalent problems in discussions of literacy/numeracy and health: (a) conflation of print and health literacy and (b) failure to control for sociodemographic characteristics. We then summarize research on the key predictors of limited (health) literacy and numeracy and explains how these capabilities are implicated in health. Finally, we present findings from two studies in which data analyzed from the Program for International Assessment of Adult Competences (PIAAC), indicates that literacy and numeracy should be considered as potential determinants of health. The PIAAC findings underscore the need to couple basic skills instruction with other initiatives to enhance health, especially among low-socioeconomic status adults. (xsd:string)
