Summary
This study tested a six-session health literacy program for 102 ninth graders in a public high school. Half the students took the program, which taught skills like finding and understanding health information. The other half did not. Researchers measured changes in health knowledge and self-confidence using standard surveys. The goal is to see if such a program can help teens make better health choices.
