Abstract
The "DNVF Memorandum Health Literacy (Part 2): Operationalization and Measurement of Health Literacy from the Perspective of Health Services Research" of the German Network for Health Services Research represents the continuation of the memorandum "DNVF Memorandum Health Literacy (Part 1): Background, Subject and Issues in Health Services Research". In addition to the general requirements for the measurement of health literacy, this memorandum also deals with the specific requirements, such as the differentiation of health literacy from related constructs, the differences between performance-based and self-assessment methods, the differences between generic and specific instruments, the use of screening instruments, and the measurement of health literacy in special populations. Furthermore, special considerations about the measurement of digital health literacy, potentials of qualitative and participatory research approaches as well as research ethics in the measurement of health literacy will be elaborated on. A special emphasis is placed on practical relevance for health services researchers. Finally, the authors will give an outlook on challenges and research desiderata in connection with the measurement of health literacy in the context of health services research. The Author(s).
