Health Illiteracy

Nearly half of adults in the United States – 90 million – have a difficult time understanding health information, including doctors recommendations and dosage information, according to a report from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies.

Those unable to process basic information have difficulty making appropriate decisions regarding their health. The result is higher hospitalization rates and increased emergency room visits, costing billions of dollars.

As insurance companies continue to fight to control costs, patients must become their own advocates. They must seek out information, monitor their own health, and decide care programs. If a patient is not able to understand the options, chronic disease management (diabetes, HIV, hypertension, cardiac disease) becomes less effective.

Even those with "strong reading and writing skills" can have trouble understanding health information; too often instructions are written in medical jargon.

The health industry as a whole needs to make efforts to create understanding. And patients need to educate themselves about their own situations: insurance, medical options and procedures.

Counterknowledge

“The reason unorthodox medicines, supplements and therapies so often match the placebo effect is simple: they are placebos. If a man takes a pill containing powdered rhino horn for erectile dysfunction (a traditional African remedy) and ends up with a rhino-sized erection, it is his brain that has done the work, not the ingredients. If, however, he gets the same result after taking purchase cialis, that is almost certainly because the drug sildenafil citrate has increased the blood flow into his penis. cheap cialis works, and Pfizer, who make it, can justifiably say so. The rhino pill manufacturers can only truthfully say that their product may possibly have a beneficial effect – but not as a result of anything that the product contains. And the same goes for the manufacturers of thousands of herbal remedies and food supplements.”
