Abstract Background We have built a six-week free online course to improve multiple sclerosis (MS)-related knowledge, health literacy (HL), and resilience among members of the MS community and interested laypeople, entitled Understanding MS. To evaluate the effectiveness of the course, we require an appropriate tool to measure HL in this cohort. Objective To evaluate the psychometric properties of the multidimensional Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) in a cohort of Understanding MS online course enrolees. Methods Participants who enrolled in the first two open enrolments of the Understanding MS online course completed the HLQ (n = 1182) in an online survey prior to beginning course materials. We used Rasch analysis to assess the measurement properties of the HLQ. Results The nine subscales of the HLQ each had a good fit with the Rasch model; they were unidimensional, had good internal consistency and reliability and no item bias or local dependency measurement gaps were identified for participants with low or high scores in each of the nine subscales, creating a ceiling effect, meaning that the HLQ cannot reliably measure change in HL over time for these participants. The HLQ is a reliable measurement tool to assess change in HL for people with low to moderate HL levels who have room to improve, which is our target group. Conclusion The HLQ is useful for assessing HL in this and similar cohorts, but the assessment of HL change should consider the limitations described above. Key messages The HLQ has excellent measurement properties and is appropriate for assessing HL

Health Literacy Questionnaire

Objective: This study aimed to undertake a rigorous psychometric evaluation of the nine-scale Norwegian version of the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) based on data from a sample of people with psoriasis. Methods: Cross-sectional survey data were collected from 825 adults with psoriasis who previously participated in the Norwegian Climate Heliotherapy programme. To investigate the factorial validity of the Norwegian HLQ, confirmatory factor analyses were carried out using Stata. Results: A highly restricted model fit with no cross-loadings or correlated residuals was acceptable for three of the nine scales (‘Feeling understood and supported by health-care providers’, ‘Appraisal of health information’ and ‘Ability to find good health information’). After minor model adjustments of the other scales, one-factor models were acceptable. All scales showed acceptable internal consistency, with Cronbach’s alpha ranging from 0.71 to 0.87. Except for three items, all items had high to acceptable factor loadings. Conclusions: This study of the Norwegian HLQ replicates the original factor structure of the Australian HLQ, indicating the questionnaire has cogent and independent scales with good reliability. Researchers, programme implementers and policymakers could use the Norwegian version of the HLQ with confidence to generate reliable information on health literacy for different purposes.
