The Health Literacy tool, developed by the University of Southampton in collaboration with NHS England, offers interactive maps and data visualizations to estimate the prevalence of low health literacy and numeracy across local authorities in England. Using data from the 2011 Skills for Life Survey, updated with the 2021 Census and the 2019 Index of Deprivation, the tool enables users to assess and compare health literacy levels in specific areas, thereby informing targeted health interventions and policies aimed at reducing health inequalities.
