Abstract

We know that health attitudes and behaviours formed during childhood greatly influence adult health patterns. We also know that an individual's health literacy can be supported by members of their family, and their local networks and community.

Current definitions of health literacy no longer hold the individual solely accountable for it—rather, we recognise that health service organisations and their staff should assess and respond to each individual's health literacy needs. This new way of thinking also recognises that the individual's local community can play a key support role.
