Primary outcomes

Health literacy profiles in Reunion Island

Time frame: at inclusion

HLQ (Health literacy questionnaire) is completed once. The algorithm produces unweighted scores for each of the 9 scales of the HLQ. The final score for each scale is an average score across all the questions that form that scale. The HLQ does not provide one overall summative score; rather it gives you nine separate scores that indicate a person's strengths and needs in relation to their health literacy.
