Abstract

Health numeracy has often been overshadowed by health literacy, either ignored completely or identified simply as a subset of health literacy. Only now are researchers beginning to realize the importance of health numeracy as a separate entity. One of the first steps in this evolution is to establish a distinct definition for health numeracy, something that has not been addressed in the literature to date. This paper proposes such a definition, as well as a set of clarifying categories in hopes of helping researchers both to advance the field of health numeracy and to focus their topics within the realm of health numeracy.

摘要

健康数字素养常常被健康素养所掩盖，要么被完全忽视，要么仅仅被视为健康素养的一个子集。直到现在，研究人员才开始意识到健康数字素养作为一个独立实体的重要性。这一发展进程的首要步骤之一是为健康数字素养确立一个明确的定义，而这是迄今为止文献中尚未涉及的内容。本文提出了这样一个定义，以及一组阐释性类别，以期帮助研究人员推动健康数字素养领域的发展，并在健康数字素养领域内聚焦他们的研究课题。
