literacy, numeracy and health

Hello friends, Some of you may be interested in a recent study by Esther Prins and Shannon Monnat that looks at the links between literacy, numeracy and health with a focus on immigrant groups. You'll find an abstract and a link to the paper, "Examining Associations between Self-Rated Health and Proficiency in Literacy and Numeracy" in the Health Literacy CoP.

I encourage members to share the implications of these findings with the Community.

Cheers, Susan Finn Miller
