To maintain their own health and the health of their families and communities, consumers rely heavily on the health information that is available to them. This information is at the core of the partnerships that patients and their families forge with today's complex modern health systems. This information may be provided in a variety of forms â€" ranging from a discussion between a patient and a health care provider to a health promotion advertisement, a consent form, or one of many other forms of health communication common in our society. Yet millions of Americans cannot understand or act upon this information. To address this problem, the field of health literacy brings together research and practice from diverse fields including education, health services, and social and cultural sciences, and the many organizations whose actions can improve or impede health literacy. Health Literacy: Prescription to End Confusion examines the body of knowledge that applies to the field of health literacy, and recommends actions to promote a health literate society. By examining the extent of limited health literacy and the ways to improve it, we can improve the health of individuals and populations.

Readability of patient education materials should correlate with the health literacy level of the specific patients. Readability and health literacy aids in the patient's ability to care for oneself and make informed decisions. The purpose of this study was to describe the correlation between the health literacy levels of postpartum patients and the readability level of postpartum patient education materials. The study analyzed 40 postpartum patients at a Midwestern community hospital using the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults. The average health literacy level of the sample patients was 12 th grade. The study also analyzed four educational materials bought by the hospital using the Fry Readability Graph. The materials ranged from 6th grade to 11 th grade. The study found that the health literacy level of the postpartum patients was higher than the readability of the educational materials. The study concluded that the postpartum educational materials are appropriate for the postpartum population at the Midwestern community hospital.

This research study focused on the reading ability of patients at a rural clinic in western Minnesota and compared their reading level to the reading grade level of printed patient education materials at the same clinic. An estimated 30--40 million people in the United States are functionally illiterate. Previous studies have shown that the mean grade level of printed patient education material was at grade levels above that of patients' reading level. Analyses were based on data from a convenience sample of 101 adult patients at a clinic in western Minnesota. Data were collected between October 1, 2006, and October 13, 2006. Printed materials included 32 materials randomly selected from the same clinic. The REALM-R was used to assess health literacy. The Flesch-Kincaid reading grade-level tool was used to assess reading materials. Using a Chi-Square test of homogeneity, a statistically significant difference (p
