BackgroundHealth literacy (HL) has been defined as the degree to which individuals possess the capacity to obtain, process, understand and utilise basic health information. For people with schizophrenia, important aspects of their HL include the ability to understand information about their illness and treatment, taking medications correctly, and interacting with clinicians.Schizophrenia is associated with lower levels of education, which has been found to negatively impact on HL. Further, schizophrenia is often associated with cognitive impairment, but the relationship between HL and cognitive function in this patient population is not known.Studies of HL in people with physical disorders have demonstrated that people with poor HL have poorer outcomes, with greater morbidity and mortality. There has been very little research into HL in schizophrenia, although it may be expected that those with poor HL might have more difficulty managing their illness and interacting with clinical services.
