Why is it important?

The article introduces the Hungarian validation of S-TOFHLA and the Chew-questions, which are complementary measurements - performance-based and self-report - assessing health literacy.

Perspectives

The work on test validation was a fruitful collaboration with the Università della Svizzera Italiana, Institute of Communication and Health led by Peter Schultz. We carefully selected the measurements to be suitable for application in clinical setting.
