Disaster Health Literacy – development and validation of a short measurement instrument in German to supplement the HLS19 instruments
Our research strongly supports the relevance and content validity of the short DIS-HL<sup>GER</sup> measurement instrument. However, further psychometric tests (factor analysis) are necessary to verify its quality. To support this, a large-scale pilot test will be conducted as part of the third national representative survey on health literacy in Germany (HLS-GER 3). If this test is successful, an English translation and international adaptation of this instrument could be considered.
