“…The psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the three-question tool rapid screening tool, the Single Item Literacy Screener (SILS), were independently assessed in two separate studies that are included together in Table 1 [51,52]. The tool characteristics presented in Table 1 therefore include 20 articles [22,26,31,34,50–65] that describe the initial development and/or validation of 19 different tools.…”

Objective Health literacy measurement can help inform healthcare service delivery. The objective of this study is to identify validated tools to measure health literacy among Spanish speakers and to summarize characteristics that are relevant when selecting tools for use in clinical or research settings. Methods An English and Spanish search of 9 databases was conducted between October 2014 and May 2015. Inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed articles presenting initial validation and psychometric properties of a tool to measure health literacy among Spanish speaking patients. Characteristics relevant to tool selection were reviewed and presented. Results Twenty articles validating19 instruments met inclusion criteria. Instruments were designed for use with Spanish speakers in numerous contexts and measured different health literacy skills such as reading comprehension or numeracy. Methods used to validate tools were inconsistent across instruments. Conclusion Although tools have inconsistencies and inefficiencies, many can be used for assessment of health literacy among Spanish speakers. Practice implications Healthcare providers, organizations, and researchers can use this review to select effective health literacy tools to indicate patient’s ability to understand and use health information so that services and materials can be more appropriately tailored to Spanish speaking patients.

“…Deficits in literacy and underutilization of medical services have been linked to health disparities [8], especially among Hispanic populations and poor health literacy [9] may be an important factor underlying less favorable health outcomes and limited healthcare access among Latinos [10]. Little is known about health literacy levels, the health information seeking behaviors, and media and technology preferences with regard to health information among Hispanics in our Northern Manhattan community.…”

Understanding key health concepts is crucial to participation in Precision Medicine initiatives. In order to assess methods to develop and disseminate a curriculum to educate community members in Northern Manhattan about Precision Medicine, clients from a local community-based organization were interviewed during 2014–2015. Health literacy, acculturation, use of Internet, email, and text messaging, and health information sources were assessed. Associations between age and outcomes were evaluated; multivariable analysis used to examine the relationship between participant characteristics and sources of health information. Of 497 interviewed, 29.4% had inadequate health literacy and 53.6% had access to the Internet, 43.9% to email, and 45.3% to text messaging. Having adequate health literacy was associated with seeking information from a healthcare professional (OR 2.59, 95% CI 1.54–4.35) and from the Internet (OR 3.15, 95% CI 1.97–5.04); having ≤ grade school education (OR 2.61, 95% CI 1.32–5.17) also preferred information from their provider; persons >45 years (OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.18–0.47) were less likely to use the Internet for health information and preferred printed media (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.07–2.50). Overall, electronic communication channel use was low and varied significantly by age with those ≤45 years more likely to utilize electronic channels. Preferred sources of health information also varied by age as well as by health literacy and educational level. This study demonstrates that to effectively communicate key Precision Medicine concepts, curriculum development for Latino community members of Northern Manhattan will require attention to health literacy, language preference and acculturation and incorporate more traditional communication channels for older community members.
