Massachusetts Health Literacy Survey

The Massachusetts Health Literacy Survey is a research project designed to assess how well residents of Massachusetts understand health-related information. It examines their ability to read, interpret, and use health materials, such as prescription instructions and medical forms. By evaluating these skills, the survey helps identify gaps in health literacy, which can impact people's ability to make informed health decisions. The results can guide health education initiatives and improve communication between healthcare providers and patients, ultimately aiming to enhance overall community health outcomes.
