Testing a single item screener to support family doctors in identifying patients with limited health literacy: convergent validity of the SILS and the HLS-EU-Q16
CONCLUSIONS: The SILS provided an acceptable initial assessment of HL limitations among a heterogeneous population of mainly chronically ill patients in a primary care setting. With only one item, the SILS can be a short and effective tool for routine use in primary care and specialized care settings. Future research should test the SILS in other populations and pilot applications of the SILS in routine care.PMID:37559006 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-023-02112-7
