Abstract

This commentary is intended as a response to ongoing concerns expressed about fundamental limitations of current research, policy, and practice surrounding health literacy. These concerns emphasise the individualistic and reductionist approaches which often dominate health literacy work, as well as a neglect of broader structural factors in addressing pressing public health issues. The potential of critical health literacy as a concept and practical approach which responds to these critiques is presented. A case is made that critical health literacy, as a concept that operates at both the community and individual level, offers an opportunity to address and eventually overcome these basic limitations in current health literacy approaches.

月球的阴暗面:关键的卫生素养能否为卫生素养的基本问题提供解决方案?
本评论旨在回应人们对当前围绕卫生素养的研究、政策和实践的基本局限性所表达的持续关注。这些问题强调了个人主义和简化主义的方法,这些方法往往主导着卫生扫盲工作,并且在解决紧迫的公共卫生问题时忽视了更广泛的结构性因素。提出了关键卫生素养作为一种概念和实际方法的潜力,以回应这些批评。报告指出,关键卫生知识普及作为一个在社区和个人层面都发挥作用的概念,为解决并最终克服当前卫生知识普及方法中的这些基本限制提供了机会。
