在过去十年中，对健康素养的描述帮助我们定义了这个问题，并认识到我们公众的技能和能力不足以成功应对日益增长的需求和医疗保健的复杂性。过去十年来，卫生知识普及取得了重大进展，取得了里程碑式的进展。20世纪90年代所做的大部分工作侧重于定义卫生素养，最初衡量其流行程度，随后研究其关联。自那时以来，卫生知识普及已从一个未得到充分认识或沉默的流行病问题，发展成为卫生政策和改革问题。近年来所提出的想法和目标实际上已被采纳，政策也有了重大发展。本文承认许多成就和里程碑，同时为今后十年的实施提出建议。
Efforts to describe health literacy in the last decade have helped us define the issue and recognize that our public's skills and abilities are not adequate for successfully navigating the growing demands and complexity of healthcare. There have been significant developments in health literacy over the last decade, with milestones of progress. Much of the work done in the 1990s focused on defining health literacy, initially measuring its prevalence and subsequently looking at its associations. Since then, health literacy has grown from an issue of an under-recognized osilent epidemico to an issue of health policy and reform. Ideas and objectives proposed have actually been adopted in recent years, with significant policy developments. This article recognizes many achievements and milestones while developing recommendations for implementation in the decade ahead.
