- 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.
