Brief, easily administered, and valid health literacy assessment tools are needed to optimize health care delivery in the emergency medicine setting. Three health literacy screening items have been proposed to assess health literacy in outpatient settings. We investigated their ability to identify English- and Spanish-speaking adult emergency department (ED) patients with lower health literacy. ⋯ The 3 health literacy screening items performed poorly in identifying adult ED patients with lower health literacy. Higher-validity screening measures are needed to better serve the health care needs of this vulnerable population in the ED setting.
