  • People with intellectual disability experience health inequalities, with underexplored health literacy.
  • The co-construction of health literacy among individuals with intellectual disability, supporters, and healthcare professionals is poorly understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the experiences of people with intellectual disability in accessing, understanding, appraising, and applying health information.
  • To investigate the role of supporters and healthcare professionals in the health literacy process for individuals with intellectual disability.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review following Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines.
  • Searches conducted across CINAHL, PsycINFO, PubMed, and EMBASE for articles from 2000 to present.
  • Data extraction and deductive coding based on the integrated model of health literacy.

Main Results:

  • Ninety articles were included, indicating health literacy is a relational process.
  • Barriers and facilitators exist for individuals with intellectual disability, support networks, and healthcare professionals.
  • Limited evidence was found regarding personal characteristics and intersectional experiences influencing health literacy.

Conclusions:

  • Health literacy is a social practice involving shared roles and responsibilities between individuals and systems.
  • Healthcare and disability sectors can enhance health literacy by fostering supportive environments for information access and decision-making.
  • Involving people with intellectual disability in research, such as this review, is crucial for interpretation and reporting.
