Brief health literacy assessment as an enhancement to existing cognitive screening tests: an exploratory investigation
Our findings demonstrate the potential benefit of integrating a brief assessment of real-world self-care task performance and health literacy, such as the NVS, with routine cognitive screening tests to improve accurate identification of cognitive impairment in primary care. Improving the accuracy of common screening tools may help facilitate earlier detection, diagnosis, and subsequent care.
