The link between limited health literacy (HL), an often forgotten social determinant of health, inadequate access to health care, and poor health outcomes demonstrates the need for better patient education. Understanding HL supports patient education on multiple levels. Our objective was to measure HL and its association with sociodemographic variables. A cross-sectional study with 328 patients was completed in 2 health centers. Three instruments, the Brief HL tool (BRIEF), Short Assessment of HL Spanish and English (SAHL-S&amp;E), and the All Aspects of HL Scale (AAHLS), were administered. Participants also reported sociodemographic characteristics and perceptions. Limited and marginal HL existed in 49% (BRIEF) and 20% (SAHL-S&amp;E) of participants. Differences in HL were identified by race, ethnicity, and education (p-values &lt; .05) for the BRIEF and SAHL-S&amp;E. Limited functional and critical HL existed in 23% and 25% of participants (AAHLS). Ninety percent reported confidence accessing health information, and 33% and 41% perceived their health as being poor and good. Results provide evidence of limited HL and merit in assessing HL in multiple ways. Measuring HL provides a background for designing multilevel patient education efforts, reducing health inequalities, and informing the healthcare workforce.
