What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Health literacy intervention (WorkHealth Improvement Network program adapted for Danish schools)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward effective ways to improve health literacy in young people, potentially reducing health inequalities.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed study with 176 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral and may not produce lasting changes.
