Effects of Application-Based Information Provision on Parents' Health Literacy: An Open-Label, Nonrandomized, Parallel-Controlled Trial
The introduction of an app that provides health care information on children did not show a statistically significant improvement in parents' health literacy. In the intervention group, participants with higher app ratings showed greater improvement in their HLSs after the intervention. Future research on apps and parental health literacy should also consider the frequency of app use. Larger, longer-term studies are needed.
