Description
Emma Braun and Amanda Proch examine health literacy in Delaware community health needs assessments in a 2026 article. Health literacy means being able to find, grasp, and use health information for sound choices. It shapes outcomes and fairness, so hospitals are starting to measure it.
Every Delaware system now folds some literacy check into its needs assessment. None yet uses the standard questions the state literacy council advises, so results vary in form. Residents with social disadvantage still struggle most with health information, owing to schooling, language, and culture gaps. The authors call wider use of shared questions the next step toward statewide action.
