Enhancing adolescents’ health through digital health literacy

该项目旨在了解青少年的数字健康素养：他们发现，理解，评估数字健康信息的可信度并采取适当行动的能力。技术的发展领先于对青少年如何利用技术获取健康信息和随后的自我保健的深入了解。我们必须利用这些技术进步的好处，同时保护青少年健康。在共同设计一套灵活的教育资源时，该项目旨在产生关于各种青少年数字健康素养的重要新知识。预计教育资源将通过提高自我照顾的能力，为青少年提供重大惠益。

This project aims to understand adolescents’ digital health literacy: their capacity to find, understand, appraise the trustworthiness of, and act appropriately on, digital health information. Technological development is racing ahead of insight into how adolescents use technology for health information and subsequent self-care. We must harness the benefits of these technological advances while protecting adolescent health. In co-designing a flexible suite of education resources, this project aims to generate critical new knowledge about the digital health literacy of a diverse range of adolescents. It is anticipated that the education resources will provide significant benefits to adolescents through enhanced capacity for self-care.
