Health literacy in people living with mental illness: A latent profile analysis
Abstract
Health literacy comprises cognitive and social skills that enable people to understand health information and maintain good health. Research examining the health literacy of people living with mental illness is scarce. The aim of the present study was to identify distinct subgroups of health literacy in individuals attending mental health treatment and determine if profiles and health literacy levels differ from other populations accessing healthcare services and on health characteristics. Participants (N = 325) were attending Neami National Australia services. Participants completed the multidimensional Health Literacy Questionnaire. Latent profile analysis was conducted to identify health literacy profiles. Participants reported lowest health literacy scores in appraising health information, navigating the healthcare system, and finding good health information. Three health literacy profiles were identified; low (20.4%), moderate (61.3%), and high (18.3%). Compared to the other populations (i.e. private hospital patients, men with prostate cancer, older individuals with diabetes, general population, people attending substance dependence treatment), the current sample tended to have lower health literacy scores. The findings highlight the need to increase overall health literacy and consider an individualised approach to enhance specific health literacy domains.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
