Summary
This study tested a 3-month program called 'Gezond en goed met elkaar' (Healthy and Good with Each Other) for adults with limited health literacy. Participants worked with lifestyle coaches to improve their understanding of health and well-being. Researchers compared them to people not yet in the program, using questionnaires every 3 months to measure positive health and health literacy.
