| Research Abstract |
The aim of the study was to gain underlying data for the health literacy(HL) support to those who need to undergo medical treatment by CHC. Respondents with lower SES were likely to have poorer HL. These results imply that to close the health gap, policy interventions should focus on the promotion of HL among deprived SES groups.
