Associations of Objective Functional and Subjective Health Literacy with Reproductive Health Knowledge and Preconception Preparedness Among Pregnant Women in Hungary

Background/Objectives: Adequate reproductive health knowledge and preconception preparedness may support informed health-related decisions during pregnancy and before conception. Health literacy may influence the ability to access, understand, and use health information; however, its association with reproductive health knowledge and preconception preparedness among pregnant women remains insufficiently explored. This study assessed objective functional and subjective health literacy among pregnant women in Hungary and examined their associations with a composite measure of reproductive health knowledge and preconception preparedness after adjustment for sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics.
