Rather than treating limited health literacy as a fixed patient trait, the statement calls for healthcare systems and interprofessional teams to redesign how stroke education and communication are delivered. The evidence for nurse-led literacy interventions is encouraging but still developing, and the statement is candid about the gaps: few adequately powered trials, inconsistent outcome measures, and a lack of tools validated for the aphasia, limited-English-proficiency, and cognitively impaired survivors who need them most. This scientific statement synthesizes current evidence on health literacy and communication across the entire stroke continuum, from prevention through recovery, and identifies nurse-led opportunities to advance equity and patient-centered outcomes. 📷 Conceptual framework for advancing health literacy and effective communication across the stroke continuum
