Health literacy of rheumatology patients in three differing clinics in Australia, and its association with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics
Patient HL as measured by the REALM differed across sites, explained by differences in gender distribution, country of birth, English as the primary language and years of education. HL as measured by the HLQ did not differ across sites and was more informative for understanding differing patient HL needs.
