A national cross-sectional survey of health literacy of caregivers attending Canadian pediatric emergency departments

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

With over 1/4 caregivers facing health literacy challenges, health care providers in emergency departments must be cognizant of their communication and education approach when caring for families and providing at-home care guidance. Clinicians should consider applying health literacy principles to all family encounters to help address healthcare disparities.
