“…48 The Consequences of Poor Health Literacy on the Treatment of HIV Even though the scientific literature is not unanimous in discussing the impacts which are associated with limited health literacy, 49 many scholars maintain that poor health literate patients: (1) perceive low self-efficacy dealing with their health conditions; (2) are not willing to be involved in the provision of care; (3) show larger risks of hospitalization; and (4) are not aware of the determinants of well-being. 50,51 In the light of these insights, both scholars and practitioners have presented inadequate health literacy as a "silent epidemic" 20,52,53 which is affecting most of the worldwide population. [54][55][56] Claiming that patients have an important role to play when they deal with the protection and the promotion of their health status, 57 several authors have examined how health literacy affects the management of long-term conditions.…”

Background: Scholars describe poor health literacy as a "silent epidemic, " which is challenging the functioning of healthcare systems all over the world. Health literacy is mainly meant as an individual trait which concerns the ability to obtain, process, and understand basic health information in order to effectively navigate the health system. Low health literate patients perceive poor self-efficacy dealing with their health conditions, are not willing to be involved in the provision of care, show larger risks of hospitalization and mortality, and are not aware about the determinants of well-being. Hence, limited health literacy has been associated with inadequate management of long-term conditions; nonetheless, several authors argue that health literacy has been an overlooked factor dealing with HIV. Methods: This study is aimed at discussing the effects of poor health literacy on people living with HIV, drawing from the findings of a narrative literature review which involved 41 papers retrieved from the databases "Scopus-Elsevier" and "PubMed. " Results: The scientific literature is not consistent dealing with the relationship between health literacy and HIV treatment. For example, health literate patients seem to better understand their health conditions; on the other hand, people living with poor health literacy are likely to report higher compliance with providers' prescriptions, blindly trusting healthcare professionals. Conclusions: Poor health literacy is a social barrier to access healthcare services and to appropriate health treatment among patients living with HIV. Tailored interventions should be aimed at enhancing the health skills of patients affected by HIV infection to improve their ability to navigate the health system.

“…Likewise, drawing research on the ELM only some studies deliberated the audience responses about health-related advertisements do have positive attitude effect (Chiang & Jackson, 2013;Cortese & Lustria, 2012). As Petty, Barden, and Wheeler (2009) also suggested using the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM).…”

Recently, the Ministry of Health Pakistan decreed that disclosures of anti- smoking messages placement in the movies should be used whereby fear based cognitive anti-smoking message is shown. Consistent with the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) assumption that persuasion messages likely influence the attitude of the relatively unmotivated individuals. This study is the first which tests and compare the ability of anti-smoking persuasion messages presented in the Direct Anti-smoking public service Advertisements (DAA) and Anti-smoking messages Placement Disclosures in movies (APD) in determining viewer’s Attitude to Quit Smoking (AQS). Hence, this attempt overcomes deficient understanding about the effects of disclosing anti-smoking advertisement placement. In a between-subject experiment (N = 120), we measure the smokers’ attitudes in the result of the direct anti-smoking advertisements along with the APDs in movies. Results of the experiment show that attitude to quit smoking becomes stronger when a direct anti-smoking advertisement and anti-smoking disclosure is shown. However, analyses based on Partial Least Squares Path Modeling (PLS-PM) on Advanced Analysis for Composites (ADANCO) 2.0.1 (a new software for variance-based SEM) attitude to quit smoking is significantly higher when the anti-smoking message disclosure is shown during the movie scenes. These results have significant implications for persuasion theories and public policy about anti-smoking campaigns.

“…Low health literacy is conceptually defined in the following statements: poorer knowledge about disease processes and self-management skills among people with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and arthritis (Osborne, Batterham, Elsworth, Hawkins, & Buchbinder, 2013;Chiang et al, 2013); the inability to access, seek and obtain health information; the inability to understand or comprehend health information; inability to interpret and judge health information; inability to apply health information (Heide et al 2013); and inability to understand instructions on prescription bottles, education brochures and providers directions (Chiang et al, 2013).

Somali immigrants to the United States are at a particularly increased risk of lower health literacy due to barriers such as language, lower education levels, culture and decreased access to health care resources. Low health literacy puts individuals and communities at risk for poor health outcomes and health disparities. However, as far as is known, there is limited information addressing the health literacy levels and its effects on Somali men.There are no available studies on the health literacy levels in this population. The purpose of this study is to identify Somali men over the age of 45 and measure their health literacy levels. Obtaining health literacy levels is essential in planning educational interventions tailored purposefully for the population of Somali men over the age of 45 years.
