Summary
This study tested whether a single 30-40 minute online education program could improve health literacy in 104 school-age children with cystic fibrosis and their parents. Half the families received the program, while the other half did not. Researchers measured health literacy levels before and four weeks after the lesson to see if it made a difference.
