Abstract

Low health literacy has been identified as an important factor linked to negative health outcomes. However, little research has analyzed the relationship between parental health literacy and children’s health outcomes. This is particularly true regarding subgroups of immigrant families, which often face a greater risk of low health literacy and high health disparities. The present study aimed to address this gap by investigating the functional health literacy levels of immigrant and US-born parents and the relation of these functional health literacy levels to child health status.
