I'm working on my senior thesis. The inquiry involves an interdisciplinary perspective intohow low literacy affects access to health care and patient/physician communication. My challenge at the moment is finding literature that investigates the historical and philosophical aspects of these issues, from multiple viewpoints. Is there anyone who has any insights into where to look for such resources/references? I look forward to any support offered during this intellectual process. Thank you.
