Young people and health literacy: The digital influence
| Resumo: | Background: In Portugal 44% of higher education students have an inadequate or problematic level of health literacy (HL). This generation is more literate than the previous ones and has grown in a digital world, which means that the internet is their main source of information, posing some advantages but also some risks. Methods: Narrative review of scientific publications conducted in Portugal and internationally, using the MeSH terms [health literacy], [digital], [young people], [education], and [social media]. Discussion: It is important to stimulate the active participation of young people in the creation of HL-promoting projects, listening to their ideas, and giving them visibility and feedback. Communication and information disclosure may be potentially more effective via social and digital media while engaging the groups young people belong to. Including HL in the pre- and postgraduate programs of all scientific academic areas is a goal to achieve. Conclusion: Integrating young people's perspectives in HL projects leads to the creation of public policies that better reflect their real needs. The abilities they acquire in this context contribute to better results regarding individual and community health. |
