Does health literacy affect patients' receipt of preventative primary care?
Patients with insufficient health literacy were more likely to report receiving advice and being referred by GPs to attend lifestyle modification. Although the number of patients referred from this sample was very low, these findings are positive in that they indicate that GPs are identifying patients with low health literacy and appropriately referring them for assistance with lifestyle modification. Future research should measure the effectiveness of these lifestyle programs for patients with low health literacy.
Expectant management is recommended strongly in fetuses at<30 weeks of gestation, irrespective of fetal growth restriction. Delivery should be considered at>30 weeks of gestation.
