 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has defined health literacy as the "degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions". Unfortunately, fully 22% of US adults have only basic and an additional 14% have below basic health literacy. The relationship between limited literacy and adverse health outcomes has been well documented, and seminal reports about health literacy have been issued by the Institute of Medicine, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the American Medical Association among others. Each of these reports advocates further research to develop an effective response and research in health literacy has begun to flourish. An important next step to cultivate this emerging research field is to create a national professional interdisciplinary home for investigators dedicated to health literacy research. In this grant application we propose to deliver a seventh annual conference along a multi-year trajectory dedicated to the promotion of the field of health literacy research. This meeting will be designed to provide a venue to focus attention on health literacy research, emphasizing the role of health literacy in implementing the Affordable Care Act and for the elimination of health disparities. This venue serves crucial functions for the field of health literacy by providing an incubator for young investigators and encouraging a cross-disciplinary exchange of knowledge, collaboration, and creativity. We aim to create an environment in which controversial topics within the research community can be openly discussed. Dr. Paasche-Orlow has served as a guest editor for special journal issues emerging from each of the past meetings; we plan to continue our successful dissemination efforts with another free full-text special issue on Health Literacy to be published by the Journal of Health Communication. We also will improve the meeting's Website so that it can serve as a public resource for sharing information about health literacy measurement tools. This year the meeting will take place on November 2-3, 2014 in Bethesda, MD.

 描述（由适用提供）：国立卫生研究院（NIH）将健康素养定义为“个人有能力获得，处理和理解做出适当健康决定所需的基本健康信息和服务的程度”。不幸的是，美国完全有22％的成年人只有基础，而另外14％的人的健康素养低于基本的健康素养。有限的识字和不良健康结果之间的关系已得到充分记录，医学研究所，医疗保健研究与质量机构以及美国医学协会已经发布了有关健康素养的第二份报告。这些报告中的每一个都提倡进一步的研究以开发有效的响应，并开始对健康素养进行研究。培养这个新兴研究领域的重要下一步是为致力于健康素养研究的调查人员创建一个国家专业跨学科的住所。在此赠款申请中，我们建议沿着多年轨迹进行第七届年度会议，该轨迹致力于促进健康素养研究领域。这次会议将旨在提供一个场所，以将注意力集中在健康素养研究上，强调健康素养在实施《平价医疗法案》和消除健康差异方面的作用。该场所通过为年轻调查人员提供孵化器并鼓励知识，协作和创造的跨学科交流，为健康素养领域提供了至关重要的功能。我们旨在创造一个环境，在该环境中，可以公开讨论研究社区中有争议的主题。 Paasche-Orlow博士曾担任过去每一次会议中出现的特别期刊问题的客座编辑；我们计划继续我们的成功传播工作，以及另一个关于健康素养的免费全文特刊 由《卫生传播杂志》发表。我们还将改善会议的网站，以便它可以作为共享有关健康素养测量工具的信息的公共资源。今年会议将于2014年11月2日至3日在马里兰州贝塞斯达举行。
