“…Research in health communications shows that even when the information is purposefully designed to produce change in behavior, this effect is typically small (Abroms & Maibach, 2008;Noar, 2006;Snyder & Hamilton, 2002). While in some cases knowledge about health conditions is related to health behaviors (e.g., Lael-Monfared et al, 2019;Lindau et al, 2002;Osborn et al, 2011), studies often find weak or non-significant relations between the two constructs (e.g., Chen et al, 2014;Guerra et al, 2005;Hwang et al, 2014) (see Berkman et al, 2011, for a relevant review). In a series of studies, Ajzen (2011) found no relationship between seemingly relevant knowledge and behavior: environmental knowledge was unrelated to conservation behavior, and alcohol knowledge to drinking behavior.…”

Exposure to right-wing media has been shown to relate to lower perceived threat from COVID-19, lower compliance with prophylactic measures against it, and higher incidence of infection and death. What features of right-wing media messages account for these effects? In a preregistered cross-sectional study (N = 554) we test a model that differentiates perceived consequences of two CDC recommendations—washing hands and staying home—for basic human values. People who consumed more right-wing media perceived these behaviors as less beneficial for their personal security, for the well-being of close ones, and the well-being of society at large. Perceived consequences of following the CDC recommendations mediated the relationship between media consumption and compliance with recommendations. Implications for public health messaging are discussed.

“…In included studies in this review, specific attention was contributed to characteristics in the analysis of the children and youth groups' recognition. Accordingly, the findings highlighted the main points, as follow: while several models and definitions of HL were presented for young people (>10 years or secondary school level), same results are lacking for children aged <10 years (primary school) (20,22,40). Moreover, the same is true for transitional stages, including from youth to adulthood, or primary school to secondary school.…”

Background: Children constitute the main target population for Health Literacy (HL) research. There is limited academic agreement and measurement regarding the knowledge and skills of children concerning making health decisions. Objectives: This review aimed to address this gap of data by providing an outline of current studies of HL in childhood. Moreover, we attempted to comprehend available theories and models concerning the needs and characteristics of children. Methods: Six databases, including Scopus, PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing, Educational Resources Information Centre (ERIC), Web of Science, and Allied Health Literatures (CINAHL) were systematically searched using relevant keywords regarding HL and childhood. We included the relevant publications of up to July 2019. Interventional and cross-sectional studies with main focuses on generic HL and relevant content for conceptualizing and defining HL in children were included in this research. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline was used to design this review study. Results: Overall, 25 studies conceptualized and defined HL; 8 definitions and 9 models have specifically focused on children aged 3-18 years. HL in children is defined as several main dimensions, each emerging as a collection of related ability, knowledge, and skills that allow an individual to derive at health-promoting actions and decisions, and approach health data, effectively. Conclusions: Identified models and definitions are highly diverse, signifying HL concepts are complex, multidimensional, and constructive. HL has been conceptualized as an action qualification, with the main attention on individual attributes, and understanding its interrelationship with sociocontextual factors. Life phase specialty is mostly conceptualized from disregarding children's specific needs, developmental viewpoint, susceptibilities, and social structures poorly synthesized within most definitions and models.

“…In 2010, Wynia and Osborn suggested a multi-faceted self-assessment tool for assessing the intensity of OHL, called C-CAT. It includes 9 attributes, that are assessed both from the point of view of patients and from the perspective of health providers and professionals, to globally check the prospective actions to improve OHL and the friendliness of health care organizations [ 42 , 51 , 52 ]. The C-CAT benchmark has been focused on five out of the nine dimensions of OHL: the engagement of health providers and professionals in the promotion of OHL, the organizational commitment toward the improvement of HL, the methods, and tools used to assess HL, the involvement of the specific communities (included patients, informal caregivers, educational institutions, and municipalities) to improve HL, and the assessment of the initiatives directed at the improvement of OHL [ 21 , 28 ].…”

The term organizational health literacy (OHL) is a new concept that emerged to address the challenge of predominantly in patients with limited health literacy (HL). There is no consensus on how OHL can improve HL activities and health outcomes in healthcare organizations. In this study, a systematic review of the literature was conducted to understand the evidence for the effectiveness of OHL and its health outcome, and the facilitators and barriers that influence the implementation of OHL. A literature search was done using six databases, the gray literature method and reference hand searches. Thirteen potentially articles with data on 1254 health organizations were included. Eight self-assessment tools and ten OHL attributes have been identified. Eleven quality-improvement characteristics and 15 key barriers were reviewed. Evidence on the effectiveness of HL tools provides best practices and recommendations to enhance OHL capacities. Results indicated that shifting to a comprehensive OHL would likely be a complex process because HL is not usually integrated into the healthcare organization’s vision and strategic planning. Further development of OHL requires radical, simultaneous, and multiple changes. Thus, there is a need for the healthcare system to consider HL as an organizational priority, that is, be responsive.
