Hi,
This is the Web address for Natl Adult Literacy Survey run by Natl
Center of Education Statistics and funded by Dept of Ed.
http://nces.ed.gov/naal/
There is an extended section on health literacy in the survey.
Here is what the Web site says:
NAAL health literacy score. The health literacy score is derived from 26
health-related questions embedded in the participant's primary literacy
assessment (either the main NAAL or ALSA), plus 10 health-related
questions included in the enhanced background questionnaire. The health
questions assess the ability of adults to apply literacy skills to
understand health-related materials and forms. Health organizations can
use the health literacy information to identify target audiences for
specific types of health information, the literacy level at which
materials for these audiences should be written, and the best ways of
reaching them.
Margarita
