Accuracy of Prospective Assessments of 4 Large Language Model Chatbot Responses to Patient Questions About Emergency Care: Experimental Comparative Study

The American Medical Association (AMA) recommends a maximum fifth-grade reading level for health literacy materials directed toward Medicaid enrollees [21].

Digital Health Readiness: Making Digital Health Care More Inclusive

Digital Health Readiness: Making Digital Health Care More Inclusive

Initial assessments of digital health literacy in the mid-2000s focused on the ability to use the internet, but they have since expanded to encompass smartphones, mobile apps, and social media [12,13]. As a construct, digital health literacy has also grown to reflect multiple domains of health technology use, including personal aspects like prior experiences, digital self-efficacy, motivation to use digital health, and access to technology [14].

Development and Validation of a Mobile-Centered Digital Health Readiness Scale (mDiHERS): Health Literacy and Equity Scale

Development and Validation of a Mobile-Centered Digital Health Readiness Scale (mDiHERS): Health Literacy and Equity Scale

“Digital readiness” encompasses digital access, use, literacy, and the competency to engage with digital health services [7]. It emerges as a pertinent metric to assess disparities in digital health service use [7]. Existing digital health literacy scales have primarily focused on specific aspects. For instance, the Digital Health Literacy Instrument evaluates internet usage skills related to health on the web and computers but does not consider aspects related to mobile usage [6].

Poor health literacy affects negative health outcomes as well as reduced satisfaction with health care services [15]. Recently, in the digital era, the concept of e Health literacy, also known as digital health literacy, has emerged to assess individuals’ competence in using the Internet to navigate health care resources and access health information [16].

The Challenges in Using eHealth Decision Resources for Surrogate Decision-Making in the Intensive Care Unit

However, if only a limited number of people participate in or use the e Health tools, the goal of universalization for these tools is compromised; accordingly, it is important to assess users’ capability and literacy level to provide them with appropriate e Health tools to enhance their health literacy. Norman and Skinner [15] introduced the e Health Literacy Lily Model (Figure 1), which consists of 2 categories, analytic and context-specific.

Predictors of Mental Health Literacy in a Sample of Health Care Major Students: Pilot Evaluation Study

In a systematic review evaluating the association between health literacy, digital health literacy, and physical health outcomes [12], digital health literacy was found to be associated with perceived and reported better communication with health care providers, health-promoting behaviors, and self-management of health needs [13,14]. As for mental health, Lincoln et al [15] found that low health literacy was associated with negative mental health outcomes such as depressive symptoms.

Improving Children’s Mental Health Literacy Through the Cocreation of an Intervention and Scale Validation: Protocol for the CHILD-Mental Health Literacy Research Study

In the field of mental health promotion and prevention, mental health literacy (MHL) is a growing multidisciplinary (psychology, communication sciences, education sciences) theory [22]. It was first conceptualized by Jorm [23] as “knowledge relating to the recognition of a mental health disorder, help-seeking, accessing mental health information, causes and risk factors, professional help and treatments available, self-help strategies, and general attitudes about mental illness.”

Susceptibility to Breast Cancer Misinformation Among Chinese Patients: Cross-sectional Study

The relationship between health literacy and information seeking and information processing has been well documented in the literature. Health literacy has been defined as the ability to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services essential for making appropriate health decisions [20]. Individuals with suboptimal health literacy have more difficulty understanding and applying health information compared to people with adequate health literacy [21].
