Health literacy is generally affected by many factors, from demographic, cultural and psychosocial factors, general literacy level, individual characteristics, experiences related to the disease, and factors related to the healthcare system. It is stated that the evidence supporting the negative effects on the health of individuals is increasing due to the lack of health literacy. These effects; Low use of preventive healthcare services are shown as delay in seeking health care in the symptomatic period, inability to understand the medical condition of the individual, inability to adhere to medical advice / instructions, insufficient self-care, increase in health care costs and increase in mortality. In terms of health, health literacy is a stronger determinant than income, employment status, education level, race or ethnic group .

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
