Her research focuses on individuals ability to understand and interpret health information and eventually make the decisions in health service needs and health behavior. Acknowledging the uniqueness in communication and culture in Chinese population, her research team has developed instruments for measuring health literacy with Blooms taxonomy as the conceptual framework, and analyzed the validity of the items in each subscale with item response analysis.

These developments have given researchers and practitioners new tools for implementing evidence-based care to older adults in Chinese communities.
