This study examined the associations between limited health literacy with patient\u2010reported outcomes and disease activity\/damage among 267 Black women with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) enrolled in the Peer Approaches to Lupus Self\u2010Management (PALS) program.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The three\u2010item Chew Health Literacy Screening was used to dichotomize those reporting in the \u201climited\u201d range on any item with outcomes compared via generalized linear models. Baseline surveys and assessments obtained at study entry as part of the PALS study were used.

In covariate\u2010adjusted analyses, participants with limited health literacy (88 [33%]) were more likely to have lower patient activation (Patient Activation Measure <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001), lower self\u2010efficacy (Lupus Self\u2010Efficacy <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001), higher lupus damage (self\u2010administered Brief Index of Lupus Damage <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.016), higher disease activity (Systemic Lupus Activity Questionnaire symptom severity <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.006), and worse physician\/patient communication (patient\u2010centered care <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001) compared to those with adequate health literacy. Those with limited health literacy also reported worse lupus quality of life (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.0004) and greater levels of stress (Perceived Stress Scale\u20104 <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001) and were 2.4 times more likely to have probable major depression (Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale\u20108 of \u226510 <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.004) and probable anxiety disorder (General Anxiety Disorder\u20107 of \u226510 <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.007) compared to those with adequate health literacy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Black women with SLE and limited health literacy have worse clinical outcomes and represent a particularly vulnerable population with significantly disparate health outcomes. These findings suggest health literacy and complexities of managing SLE may impair clinical care in multiple domains, ultimately contributing to higher disease activity and death\/damage, and are
