👉 5 clusters based on health literacy Q scores:
-highest health lit: older, fewer female, more comorbidities
-lowest health lit: younger, more anxiety & depression

🤔 Implications: older, more comorbidities were people with more healthcare engagement and pt education?

I get excited for this talk every year- looking forward to hearing Dr Tamika Webb-Detiege’s pearls of wisdom on #WorkLifeBalance to remind us that, as much as we love it, life is more than just about work.

A great start to #ACR25!

#HealthLiteracy is not just an “add-on”. It shapes every aspect of care and is a core social determinant of health in rheum.
There is a need for:
✅ Standardised ways to measure HL
✅ Interventions co-designed with patients
✅ Policy recognising HL as key to reducing inequities

Low health literacy was consistently linked to worse outcomes:
⬆️ Disease activity
⬆️ Disability
⬆️ Anxiety & depression
⬆️ Healthcare use
⬇️ Medication adherence
⬇️ Use of telehealth & digital tools
