Health literacy universal precautions are still a distant dream: analysis of U.S. data on health literate practices.

It found that the proportion of adults in the U.S. who reported receiving health literate care increased from 2011 to 2014, but fell far short of health literacy universal precautions recommendations of delivering health literate care to everyone.
