This is the second of two articles exploring the concept of health literacy, an often hidden barrier to effective healthcare communication. Part 1 was published in April ( Lambert and Keogh 2014 ). This article explains how to detect low levels of health literacy among parents and children, and outlines the challenges to assessing health literacy levels, including the stigma and discrimination some people experience. Some basic healthcare communication strategies for supporting health literacy in practice are suggested.
这是探讨健康素养概念的两篇文章中的第二篇，健康素养是有效医疗沟通中一个常常被忽视的障碍。第一篇于4月发表（兰伯特和基奥，2014年）。本文解释了如何发现家长和儿童中健康素养较低的情况，并概述了评估健康素养水平所面临的挑战，包括一些人所经历的耻辱感和歧视。文中还提出了一些在实践中支持健康素养的基本医疗沟通策略。
