Correlates and Detection of Digital Health Literacy in Patients With Colorectal Carcinoma or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: Cross-Sectional Study
In this convenience sample, DHL varied based on cancer type, education level, general health literacy, and clinical trial participation. Furthermore, we found that a single item from the eHEALS has strong potential for identifying those with low DHL. These findings may inform which patients have higher need for or may benefit from DHL interventions and suggest avenues for detecting low DHL in oncology clinics.
