Translation, Cultural Adaptation, and Validation of the Japanese eHealth Literacy Questionnaire Among Users in a Super-Aged Society: Mixed Methods Study
The Japanese version of the eHLQ is robust and is likely to be a reliable and effective tool for assessing digital health literacy among Japan's population. There were no notable differences between scores of those aged above and below 65 years, or those with and without chronic disease(s). The findings also suggest that current systems may be tailored to frequent digital health users. The Japanese version of the eHLQ is expected to be used to effectively monitor digital health literacy in Japan's aging society.
