Description: Health literacy measures have largely emanated from developed countries, reflecting the characteristics of their economies, populations, and health systems. In contrast, it is disconcerting that health literacy appears to be so under-researched in developing countries (DCs), despite the likelihood of inadequate health literacy being endemic. In this commentary, I highlight some challenges when using existing health literacy measures in DCs and conclude with a summary of considerations when using/developing a tool for these populations.
