Hi,

Whoever is looking for "a measurement/survey of the health providers' level of
commitment to health literacy" might want to check out:

Brown DR, Ludwig R, Buck GA, Durham D, Shumard T, Graham SS. Health literacy:
universal precautions needed. J Allied Health. 2004 Summer;33(2):150-5.
PMID: 15239414 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

I am going to be using a version of their survey at an upcoming conference to
measure healthcare professionals' knowledge, attitudes, etc. regarding health
literacy (with Sue Graham's permission--she has been easy to work with and very
generous with the instrument).

I am so happy to be able to contribute something to the list!
