Health promotion, disease prevention, and healthcare: The measurement of high school student health literacy.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLow levels of health literacy are related with riskier health behaviors and poorer health outcomes. Biological science contributes significantly to students' health literacy, as many biology topics are directly related to health issues. This research aims to analyze the health literacy of high school students, focusing on three health domains: health promotion, disease prevention, and healthcare. METHODS AND MATERIAL: A total of 570 students contributed to this study, selected through convenience sampling. Thirteen test items were administered to the students via Google Forms. Data were analyzed by calculating the scores obtained, which were then categorized into performance levels.
resultsThe findings revealed that overall, students' health literacy and their performance in the three health domains were at the basic level. Female students consistently achieved higher scores for health literacy and in the health promotion domain (Sig. <0.05) but were not significant in the healthcare and disease prevention domains compared to males. However, both genders fell within the basic category. Notably, male students performed below basic level in the domain of disease prevention. Among age groups, 17-year-old students performed at the basic level, while students aged 15, 16, and 18 scored below basic in disease prevention. The lowest scores were observed among 18-year-old students. The calculation results show that health literacy and healthcare domains significantly differ based on age, but the other two do not.
conclusionsThe high school students generally possess a basic level of health literacy, with female students outperforming their male counterparts. Additionally, health literacy appears to decline slightly with age in this study.
