Association of Health Literacy with Sociodemographic Factors and Medication Adherence Among Primary Health Care Users in Montenegro
Health literacy among primary care users in Montenegro is moderate, with a substantial proportion exhibiting limited literacy. Low income is a key determinant of limited literacy, and limited health literacy was associated with poorer medication adherence. Targeted educational and policy interventions are needed to improve health literacy and reduce health inequalities.
