Abstract

The healthcare market has many characteristics that distinguish it from other industries, among which asymmetric information is the most frequently discussed. Oftentimes, due to limited access to information, patients are unable to gain full health information and make the most appropriate choices or decisions, regardless of whether or not they are under physician supervision or engage in self-care at home. Hence, the enhancement of health information and health literacy is the crucial option for improving the health status of the general public. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship model to determine the impact of health literacy on health status of people with diabetes.
