Abstract

The use of health literacy in health promotion is quite a new issue, just developing. Literacy is associated primarily with the human reading and writing skills, but it also has a shift in the sphere of health. Health literacy is a much broader concept than alphabetism. This includes not only reading and writing skills, but also the decision-making and broadcasting of own health.
