Let’s see how much you know about mental health and factors that can actually predict the status of a person’s mental health.
Choose which of the following factors you think is the most effective in predicting a person’s mental health status:
Race/ethnicity
Age
Education
Income
Literacy skills
Employment
If you chose literacy skills, you’re absolutely correct. And it’s deeper than just being able to read and write – it’s also being able to understand health-related information. In other words, it’s your health literacy.
