What is the evidence on existing policies and linked activities and their effectiveness for improving health literacy at national, regional and organizational levels in the WHO European Region?

The report identified policies and other relevant documents through an evidence review of peer-reviewed and grey literature, supplemented by an enquiry of experts in health, health literacy and policy in the Region and by health literacy policies included in the most recent peer-reviewed document on health literacy activities published in the Region (European Union (EU) countries only: HEALIT4EU). Further efforts to identify policies from countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States were unfruitful.
