Health literacy on Mpox among Brazilian men who have sex with men: Findings from a national cross-sectional study
HL levels among MSM during the Mpox public health emergency in Brazil were low, shaped by individual, economic, and social factors. The findings can guide nursing practice regarding how MSM deal with information and make decisions in contexts of episodic health events, as well as the HL strategies to be implemented in nursing therapy.
