All rights reserved.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to culturally adapt and validate METER in the Portuguese population, and to define cut-off values for adequate health literacy. METHODS: We used the standard procedure for the adaptation of the words and surveyed health professionals to select the non-words. The instrument was administered to a total sample of 249 participants and retested in a sub-sample of 45 after three months. Cut-offs were defined using the modified Angoff procedure. Construct validity was assessed through association with educational attainment and health-related occupation. RESULTS: Exploratory factor analysis revealed two dimensions of the instrument, one for words and another for non-words. METER showed a high degree of internal consistency, and acceptable test-retest reliability. Adequate health literacy was defined as scoring at least 35/40 in words and 18/30 in non-words. Physicians scored higher than any other group, followed by health researchers, researchers from other areas and by people with progressively lower levels of education (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: We culturally adapted a brief and simple instrument for health literacy assessment, and showed it was valid and reliable. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The Portuguese version of METER can be used to assess health literacy in Portuguese adults and to explore associations with health outcomes.This work was supported by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (HMSP-IISE/SAU-ICT/0004/2009)ElsevierRepositório da Universidade de LisboaPaiva, DagmaraSilva, SusanaSevero, MiltonFerreira, PedroSantos, OsvaldoLunet, NunoAzevedo, Ana2015-02-11T12:20:56Z20142014-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/15991porPatient Education and Counseling 97 (2014) 269–2750738-3991http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pec.2014.07.024metadata only accessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-08T16:02:59Zoai:repositorio.ul.pt:10451/15991Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T21:37:16.205016Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
