Low health literacy can be a known barrier to the client-centred model of health care as it requires individuals to take on more responsibility for their own health outcomes and make informed decisions. Those with low health literacy may struggle to understand and interpret health information and therefore may have difficulty taking the necessary steps to manage their own health.
