Data was collected with the test of functional health literacy in adults (TOFHLA) and demographic questionnaire, and analyzed by, ANOVA, chi-squared tests via SPSS software version 21. Results: The mean age of participants was 34.25± 8.19 years in females and 34.44± 8.60 years in males, and 90.57% were female, and 66.98% of them were married. The health literacy score was 65.90 ± 21.10, and 32.29% of females and40% of males were at an adequate level of health literacy. Level of health literacy was significantly different between participants with diffrent education level (P <0001), type of rehabilitation center (p = 0.001), specialized services of the center (P <0001), and gender.
