Health literacy is critical to effective communication between individuals and their health care providers. However there is little consistency in conceptualization and measure of health literacy. The objective of this review is to examine existing health literacy models and measures to assess their application to limited English proficient population in the context of information and communication technology. Communication platforms change with the development of new technology and existing health literacy models and measures are insufficient to capture the complex interaction that occurred in these communication platforms. A new health literacy model composed of four domains: sources, context, process, and outcome were introduced.
健康素养对于个人与其医疗服务提供者之间的有效沟通至关重要。然而，在健康素养的概念化和衡量方面几乎没有一致性。本综述的目的是研究现有的健康素养模型和衡量方法，以评估它们在信息和通信技术背景下对英语水平有限人群的应用。随着新技术的发展，通信平台不断变化，现有的健康素养模型和衡量方法不足以捕捉这些通信平台中发生的复杂互动。引入了一个由四个领域组成的新的健康素养模型：来源、背景、过程和结果。
