Abstract

Higher DHL is associated with higher VL, suggesting that skills in searching for, appraising, and applying online health information can enhance informed vaccination decision-making. Interventions delivered through trusted channels, such as schools and healthcare providers, should aim to strengthen both literacies, address misinformation, and foster critical evaluation competencies to support vaccine uptake in youth.
