OTTAWA - Canadians' low level of health literacy is adding "billions" of dollars in health care costs every year, says the president of the Canadian Council on Learning. Paul Cappon made the comment after the release of the council's latest study on health literacy, defined as "the ability of individuals to access and use health information to make appropriate health decisions and maintain basic health." The study builds on previously released data that shows 60 per cent of Canadian adults - including 88 per cent of those over 65 - lack that ability.
