The aim of the study is to assess the health literacy of women who are using health services within the Gynecology Obstetric Clinic “Narodni Front” in Belgrade. Testing of health literacy was conducted as a cross-sectional study in the period October- November 2012. As instruments of research the following questionnaires are used: Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults and General information questionnaire of respondents who referred to the demographic, social and economic characteristics of respondents, self-assessment of health, use of health services, health knowledge and behavior in the area of reproductive health. Inadequate health literacy level is registered in every ten respondents. Th e education level of the respondents proved to be a signifi cant predictor of health literacy. Demographic and socio- economic characteristics of the patients (age, occupation, marital status) as well as self-evaluation of the health status were not signifi cantly related to the health literacy. Health literacy respondents did not signifi cantly dependent on risk behaviors related to reproductive health. Th e level of health literacy is consistent with the knowledge of subjects in the fi eld of protection of reproductive health. Health literacy as the ability to function within the health care system is equally certain by individual characteristics and skills, characteristics of the health and education systems as well as a wide range of social and cultural factors. Health literacy is more systematic than individual problem, so it requires a broader social action.
