This 2011 article by Nancy Berkman and colleagues discusses a systematic review. The review included studies on interventions designed to improve healthcare utilization and health outcomes for people with low health literacy.
Researchers found that the most successful interventions were:
- · Based on theory.
- · Delivered by a health professional (such as a pharmacist or diabetes educator).
- · Focused on skill building.
- · High intensity.
- · Pilot tested before full implementation.
