Associations between health literacy proficiencies and health-related quality of life and GP visits among young people in Norway: a population-based cross-sectional study
This study provides new empirical insights into the impact of HL in YP. Identified cut-points for the HLS<sub>19</sub>-YP12 may contribute to simplifying the process of adapting information and communication for various HL skills. The study also suggests the need for more efforts in HL policy and structural intervention development to enhance YP health and well-being.
