Patterns of health literacy among vulnerable unemployed citizens: a cross-sectional study in a Danish municipality
Based on the findings interventions may be developed to improve 1) the HL in vulnerable unemployed citizens and 2) the system's ability to accommodate citizens with poor HL. Such interventions could improve the health of the citizens and thus their labor market prospects. Depending on the target group, these should have a broad HL focus or a more specific focus on navigating the healthcare system.
