Abstract
The Diabetes Health Literacy Scale is a new instrument that measures comprehensive aspects of informational, numeracy, and communicative health literacy. It is short instrument, comprising only 14 items scored on a 5-point Likert scale. The instrument exhibits good psychometric properties for four validity metrics (content, structural, convergent, and criterion validity) and two reliability metrics (internal consistency and test-retest reliability). These findings indicate that the instrument can be applied in both research and clinical practice.
