Structural Determinants of Health Literacy Among Formerly Incarcerated Individuals: Insights From the Survey of Racism and Public Health
Our findings suggest that there may be an opportunity to develop tailored interventions for increasing HL among FIIs through public assistance programs. Dissemination of HL resources among this marginalized group can improve their self-management of chronic diseases. This is of paramount importance because FIIs must simultaneously navigate other challenges after incarceration (e.g., unstable housing).
