The overall objective of this study is to develop and validate a flexible health literacy instrument for older adults employing the state-of-art computational technology. A comprehensive health literacy framework as described in this proposal can be used to support research on health literacy, develop screening tools for clinicians and tailor health education materials for older adult patients and consumers at varying levels of literacy. This can contribute to empowering patients and health consumers as well as serving to narrow the digital divide. David Kaufman of Columbia Univ. is the PI of the project and Qing Zeng of Harvard Medical School is the subcontract PI. |
