Abstract

This chapter aims to provide an overview of health literacy definitions, how the definitional work on health literacy has developed, and why it is important to understand the conceptual differences among diverse definitions. Since the introduction of the term ‘health literacy’ in the 1970s, research interest has grown exponentially.
