Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ)
The Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) is a critical advancement in health literacy measurement. It is a multi-dimensional tool that has been designed to provide practitioners, organisations and governments with data describing the health literacy strengths and limitations of individuals and populations. These data allow development and selection of fit-for-purpose response strategies that optimise opportunities to improve equity in health outcomes and access.

The Information and Support for Health Actions Questionnaire (ISHA-Q) was developed to measure health literacy in low- and middle-income settings, and cultures where decision-making about health often occurs as a collective activity of family or peer groups. The ISHA-Q includes supplementary scales for people with chronic illnesses, people with a physical disability, people who are blind and people who are deaf.
