    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Health Literacy Research
    • Pediatric Care

    Background:

    • Low health literacy impacts over one-third of US adults, negatively affecting health behaviors and outcomes.
    • Effective patient communication and understanding are essential for positive health outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess pediatric residents' and faculty's knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding health literacy in continuity clinics.
    • To identify educational gaps and inform future health literacy training initiatives for pediatric healthcare providers.

    Main Methods:

    • A mixed-methods online survey was administered to pediatric residents and faculty across the US.
    • The survey assessed knowledge of health literacy, use of universal precautions, and perceived barriers.
    • Data were analyzed using Chi-squared tests for quantitative and emergent coding for qualitative responses.

    Main Results:

    • Most participants believed they could identify individuals with low health literacy, contradicting existing evidence.
    • A significant majority lacked familiarity with universal health literacy precautions.
    • Many participants reported no specific training in health literacy, highlighting an educational deficit.

    Conclusions:

    • Findings indicate a need for improved health literacy education among pediatric residents and faculty.
    • Addressing misconceptions and increasing awareness of universal precautions are critical next steps.
    • Enhanced training can improve pediatric providers' ability to support patients with low health literacy.
