Summary

This study looked at whether a school-based program could improve health literacy—the ability to find, understand, and use health information—among 176 Danish students aged 15-25. The goal was to see if better health literacy could help reduce health inequalities linked to education level. Researchers measured changes in health literacy and self-perceived health at 3 and 6 months after the program started.
