Almost half i.e. 50% of all American adults—90 million people—have difficulty in understanding and acting upon health information.

Health literacy is key to keeping a wholesome lifestyle and making knowledgeable judgments about our health care. As per the National Assessment of Adult Literacy survey, two in five American grown-ups have a problem in processing health knowledge and assistance required to take suitable health decisions.

Approximately 36% of adult Americans have only primary or below primary health literacy aptitudes. They may be able to read and comprehend a simple appointment slip or patient education brochure. They would undergo hardship with more complex details such as prescription medication labels or informed approval documents.
