About this Health Professions article
Developments and perspectives of health literacy in Europe by Kristine Sørensen; Helmut Brand is a Health Professions article available to read on EtoBox.
## Abstract A decade ago the European health literacy field was in its infancy. A comparable study among EU Member States was made to explore if health literacy was as much as a concern in Europe as elsewhere in the world. This article analyses the impact of the European Health Literacy project (2009–2012). Based on the outcomes new avenues for health literacy in Europe are proposed. In spite of progress there is still a strong call for actions to make health literacy a priority in the EU.
It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Health Professions.
