Health literacy remains a key factor in the continuance of health disparities in our society as health related quality of life can be negatively affected by limited health literacy. This study explores how limited health literacy among minority men, attending a community health fair, correlates with their health related quality of life. Findings reflect that minority men who possess lower levels of health literacy experience lower self-reported quality of life. Directions for healthcare providers, community health educators and future research approaches are provided.
健康素养仍然是导致我们社会中健康差距持续存在的一个关键因素，因为有限的健康素养会对健康相关生活质量产生负面影响。本研究探讨了参加社区健康博览会的少数族裔男性中有限的健康素养如何与其健康相关生活质量相关。研究结果反映出，健康素养水平较低的少数族裔男性报告的生活质量较低。为医疗保健提供者、社区健康教育者和未来的研究方法提供了方向。
