Aim To systematically review the literature on definitions, tools and factors associated with medication literacy. Methods We searched on Medline, Lilacs, Cochrane, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, databases of theses/dissertations and the references of the selected studies. The screening was carried out by two independent researchers. Observational, experimental or methodological studies were eligible for inclusion. The tools were critically analysed and evaluated regarding the dimensions and statements on medication literacy. Results Thirty‐five studies were included. Most were conducted in China and the United States, included adults and were published after 2010. Different terms were identified for literacy in the context of medication use and the most frequently used was “medication literacy”. Its definition varied, but “medication literacy” was generally defined as the individual ability to understand and act on medication‐related information. Twelve tools were identified. Most included only functional and numerical dimensions of literacy. No instrument covered all the essential statements on medication literacy. The tools had essential limitations in their development and measurement characteristics. Factors associated with medication literacy varied among studies, but the most frequent were age, education and inappropriate self‐medication. Conclusion “Medication literacy” is the recommended term for literacy in the context of medication use. Different definitions were identified, and the most comprehensive was the one proposed by Pouliot in 2018. The tools did not cover all the essential literacy skills for medication use and focused only on functional e numeracy domains. Sociodemographic characteristics and inappropriate self‐medication were the most common factors associated with medication literacy.

Purpose of Review Headaches are not only responsible for restrictions in everyday life in adults. In children and adolescents, regular headaches lead also to reduced life quality and limitations in the social sphere, in school education, and in professional careers. Here, we provide an overview on the frequency of headache in children and adolescents with the aim of increasing awareness about this particular health issue. Recent Findings Overall, headache prevalence in children and adolescents has been increasing in recent years. From various regions worldwide, data describing headache, its forms, and consequences are growing. In addition, factors frequently correlated with headache are repeatedly investigated and named: besides genetic factors, psychosocial and behavioral factors are linked to the prevalence of headache. Summary Increasing evidence indicates that headache is underestimated as a common disorder in children and adolescents. Accordingly, too little emphasis is placed by society on its prevention and treatment. Thus, the extent of the social and health economic burden of frequent headaches in children and adolescents needs to be better illustrated, worldwide. Furthermore, the data collected in this review should support the efforts to improve outpatient therapy paths for young headache patients. Factors correlating with headache in pupils can draw our attention to unmet needs of these patients and allow physicians to derive important therapy contents from this data.
