Research shows that only 12% of American adults are proficient in health literacy and over a third of all adults have low health literacy. This creates difficulty in navigating the complex health care system and engaging fully in medical discussions that directly impacts health management. Black and Hispanic Americans have the lowest health literacy rate of all racial groups.
