Do your Doctor's math skills impact your health?
NCT ID NCT07379086
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well primary care doctors understand numbers (numeracy) and whether that affects the quality of care they provide. Researchers will survey 500 doctors and patients in France to measure doctors' math skills and patients' health literacy. The goal is to understand if better numeracy among doctors leads to better patient communication and care.
