Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria

Assessment of Health Literacy in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease

Currently, both oral and written health education make certain assumptions about the health
literacy of patients and their parents. The prevalence of health literacy issues is unknown
in the adult congenital heart disease (CHD) population. Having a better understanding of a
patient's and/or their parents' health literacy will help us develop appropriate education
and teaching tools to meet the patient's and their parents' needs.

When providers speak with patients regarding their congenital heart disease, they currently
have no assessment of the patient's basic health literacy. If providers are aware of the
level of their patients' health literacy, they will be better equipped to provide care on the
level the patient best understands.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Males or females 18 years of age and older with congenital heart disease.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Developmentally delayed subjects.

- Any subject not meeting inclusion criteria.
