That is, how beneficial is improving health literacy when factors like economic status, housing, access to services etc are still making life difficult. Are there any key studies that have shown an improvement in health status by changing only health literacy? At what point do these other social factors become the main limiting factors? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chris Brown
