The majority of current health literacy tools assess functional skills including reading, writing, and numeracy. Although these tools have been able to underline the impact of such skills on individuals\u2019 health behaviour, there is a need for comprehensive measures to examine more advanced skills. The individual\u2019s ability to use health-related information considering his\/her own health context, and judging positive and negative consequences of their decisions has been conceptualized as judgment skills. The present study used a newly developed judgment skills tool to explore asthma self-management practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item abstract\"><em>Design<\/em>\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0<em>methods<\/em>. Eighty asthma patients were recruited from medical offices during the year 2013. The questionnaire was self-administered and contained health literacy questions, the judgment skill tool, the Asthma Control Test, and several self-management questions.<\/div>\n<div class=\"item abstract\"><em><br \/>\nResults<\/em>. Sixty-nine percent of participants had adequate health literacy, while 24% and 5% had marginal and inadequate levels, respectively. The high-judgment group referred more to their doctor when experiencing asthma problems\u00a0<em>t<\/em>(76)=\u22122.18, P&lt;0.032; complied more with the use of their control medicine<em>\u00a0t<\/em>(77)=\u22123.24, P&lt;0.002 and went more regularly to the doctor\u00a0<em>t<\/em>(78)=\u22121.80, P&lt;0.038 (one-tailed) than the low-judgment group.<\/div>\n<div class=\"item abstract\"><em>Conclusions<\/em>. The judgment skills tool can help identify asthma patients\u2019 health information use and reveal how this use may affect some self-management practices.<\/div>\n<div class=\"item downloads_chart\"><\/div>\n<h3>Most read articles by the same author(s)<\/h3>\n<p>Ramona Ludolph, Marta Nobile, Uwe Hartung, Silvana Castaldi, Peter J.
