Factors Associated With Health Literacy and Medication Adherence in an Urban Community. | LitMetric

The primary objective of this study is to determine factors associated with health literacy and medication adherence in an urban community. A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess factors associated with health literacy and medication adherence. Participants were recruited from October 2012 to April 2013. Ambulatory care clinic and senior wellness center. Participants were eligible if they were older than 18 years of age and had received care at the ambulatory clinic or obtained services at the senior wellness center. REALM survey and the Morisky 8-Item Medication Adherence Questionnaire. The two outcomes evaluated in this study were health literacy and medication adherence. A total of 51 participants were enrolled in the study. Twenty-seven (53%) of the participants were noted to be nonadherent to their medications. Twenty (74%) of these participants read below the high school level, and the remaining 7 (26%) read above a high school level. Study findings showed that both education level and comorbidities status were associated with health literacy. Participants who had a below high school education level had greater odds of having a below high school health literacy level (odds ratio [OR] = 7.500, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.482-37.949). Participants who had two or more comorbidities had greater odds of having a below high school health literacy level (OR = 24.889, 95% CI 2.698-229.610). Our study results found associations between both comorbidities and education with health literacy.
