Health literacy (HL) is a field of scientific knowledge that has been related to the knowledge and skills of people to access, understand, evaluate and apply information in health. Among the currently existing instruments for measuring the HL construct in its broader aspects, involving multidimensional characteristics, there is the short version of European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q16). The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the HL instrument European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire in its short form, also known as HLS-EU-Q16. The instrument was applied to a sample of 783 Brazilian adults. Our results demonstrated that the Brazilian version of HLS-EU-Q16 presented good psychometric properties to measure HL in Brazilian adults.
