Developing a model of interactive health literacy among college students majoring in kinesiology: a grounded theory approach.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Health literacy among college students majoring in kinesiology is higher than that among students in other majors. However, the structure of interactive health literacy is poorly understood, which may affect overall health literacy. Despite existing research on health literacy, studies targeting college students majoring in kinesiology are scarce, and a gap remains in translating study results into practical strategies. Therefore, this study constructed a theoretical model of interactive health literacy among college students majoring in kinesiology. Methods: Qualitative data were collected from online posts, a literature review, and semi-structured interviews with 11 college students majoring in kinesiology, physical education teachers, and six physical fitness experts in China. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Interview questions focused on participants' perceptions of the structure and characteristics of interactive health literacy among college students majoring in kinesiology. Data were analyzed based on the grounded theory. Results: The analysis derived three categories with eight subcategories, 60 concepts, and 288 labels. The categories and subcategories were harnessing health information (comprising obtaining health information and comprehending health information), promoting health interactions (comprising perceiving health functions, shaping health awareness, and participating in health communication), and addressing health problems (comprising forming health motivation, making healthy decisions, and practicing healthy living). Conclusions: College students majoring in kinesiology in China exhibited unique trends in interactive health literacy compared to students in other countries. Further large-scale surveys are required to revise and validate the initial exploration of perceptions and investigate the structural system of interactive health literacy in various groups.
