Every day thousands of individuals need to make critical decisions
about their health based on numerical information, yet recent
surveys have found that over half the population of the United
States is unable to complete basic math problems. How does this
lack of numerical ability (also referred to as low numeracy,
quantitative illiteracy or statistical illiteracy) impact
healthcare? What can be done to help people with low numeracy
skills? Numerical Reasoning in Judgments and Decision Making about
Health addresses these questions by examining and explaining the
impact of quantitative illiteracy on healthcare and in specific
healthcare contexts, and discussing what can be done to reduce
these healthcare disparities. This book will be a useful resource
for professionals in many health fields including academics, policy
makers, physicians and other healthcare providers.
