Context counts: a qualitative study on how adolescents activate social resources to develop and practice health literacy
Our findings highlight potential (de)activators of adolescents' resources, primarily those available within their social networks, in the development and practice of health literacy. Results contribute to the literature on adolescent health literacy by shedding light on the often under-described concept of context. Explicit consideration of context provides actionable insights for educators, healthcare providers, and policymakers seeking to support adolescents in the development and practice of health literacy.
