ALISS (Access to Local Information to Support Self Management) is a project based in Scotland, which aims to make it easier to access the information about support on offer to people with long term conditions. One of their main work streams is health literacy and they have recently published a new report.
The report aims to examine the impact of poor literacy on accessing local support to manage long term conditions. The project sought to learn how individuals with long term conditions who were disadvantaged by low literacy skills obtained, processed and understood information about local resources.
