Personal Health Literacy Measurement Tools

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)

AHRQ's tools for measuring personal health literacy can be used by any professional looking to evaluate someone's ability to find, understand, and use information and services to inform health-releated decisions for themselves or others. You can use these tools, which are available in English and Spanish, to better understand the health literacy skills of the people and communities you serve — and gather data to inform your health literacy programming and education.
