Guided paths to understanding: can patient navigation improve health literacy among adults in the Philippines?

Patient navigation shows promise for improving healthcare access and health information, though its impact on health literacy among underserved populations in developing countries remains underinvestigated. This study evaluated the effectiveness of patient navigation services in improving health literacy in the Philippines. Using a quasi-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design over 2 months, 105 participants were recruited through random sampling from a tertiary hospital.
