Funded Activity Summary

All health care services aim to provide the right care, at the right time in the right place. There is growing evidence to suggest that a person’s ability to obtain and understand basic information about their health condition, defined as their level of health literacy, impacts on how they access health care. This study aims to determine whether health literacy impacts on some people’s decision to utilise emergency department care instead of their general practitioner for non-emergency conditions.
