The little I've read thus far has me a bit confused, and I would like some clarification if it is available from readers of the list. Do experts in this area make a distinction between literacy in general and health literacy in particular, or are they considered synonymous? If these two terms are distinct, what are their different implications for health? Thanks for any information. Austin Babrow Assoc. Professor Dept. of Communication Purdue University W.
