Brief summary
Health and ehealth literacy refer to one’s ability to identify, appraise, and implement offline and online health information. Greater health and ehealth literacy are associated with better health and quality of life outcomes as well as health service utilisation. This study will investigate health and ehealth literacy in people living with a neurological condition and neurological caregivers using a survey comprised of validated questionnaires.
