Measuring Navigational Health Literacy in Russia
Structures and regulations of healthcare systems in many countries have become increasingly complex and difficult for patients and users to navigate. Thus, more than ever before, navigational health literacy (NAV-HL) is needed by patients. There are no data on NAV-HL in Russia due to the lack of suitable concepts and measuring tools. Therefore, the study aimed to validate the HLS 19 navigational health literacy assessment tool (HLS 19 -NAV) for t…
The reported impact of non-communicable disease investment cases in 13 countries
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a leading health and development challenge worldwide. Since 2015, WHO and the United Nations Development Programme have provided support to governments to develop national NCD investment cases to describe the socioeconomic dimensions of NCDs.
