We enrolled 1,615 men following radical prostatectomy and collected partner-reported items where available, stratifying participants by health literacy tertiles, using the validated HLS19-Q12 instrument. Primary outcomes included knowledge scores, treatment utilization (PDE5 inhibitors, vacuum devices, injection therapy, pelvic floor training), multimodal engagement, and adherence rates.
