Interventions to Promote Health Literacy in Children, Adolescents and Supporting A

An Evidence Map

In total 18 systematic reviews (SR) with moderate or low risk of bias, which examined a range of interventions intended to promote health literacy among children, adolescents and supporting adults, were identified. The overall evidence base is constrained by methodological limitations, inconsistent outcome measures and substantial variation in intervention content. Important research gaps remain, particularly concerning younger children, critical health literacy, and digital media and health.

The aim was to identify, categorise and map systematic reviews evaluating interventions intended to promote health literacy among children, adolescents and supporting adults, and to provide an overview of the areas in which reliable, systematically compiled scientific evidence is available, as well as where evidence is lacking.
