Description
Merga Garoma Jatu and seven co-authors measure health literacy among high school teens in Jimma town, Ethiopia. Their cross-sectional study was published in twenty twenty-four. Health literacy, the skill to find and use health facts, shapes how young people care for themselves.
The team surveyed six hundred and four students in June twenty twenty-three, chosen through staged sampling from public high schools. A tested self-filled questionnaire gathered the data. About half the students were male, and ages ran from fourteen to nineteen. Statistical models hunted for factors tied to higher or lower literacy, such as schooling background and information sources. The findings can guide schools and health offices that want to raise health skills in teens.
