Julie Gazmararian, MPH, PhD; David Baker, MD, MPH; Ruth Parker, MD; Dan G. Blazer, MD, PhD. Arch Intern Med. 2000;160:3307-3314 Conclusions: Although individuals with inadequate health literacy were more than twice as likely to report depressive symptoms, this was mostly explained by their worse health status. The strong relation between depression symptoms and poor health status suggests the need to research interventions to improve mental and physical health concurrently. The influence of particular interventions on depression, such as referral to community support contacts and recommendations for an exercise program, needs to be further evaluated.
