Development and validation of the interactive health literacy scale for college students majoring in kinesiology

Chinese college students majoring in kinesiology have similarities and differences in interactive health literacy compared to students from other nations. Suggestions to improve the interactive health literacy of college students majoring in kinesiology include: (1) optimizing health education courses and training; (2) enhancing digital and technological support; (3) strengthening diversified health literacy assessment and feedback; and (4) supporting campus environments. The IHLS-CSMK has achieved significant results in China; however, due to differences in cultural backgrounds, health concepts, and education systems, further validation is needed to determine whether this scale is applicable to other countries.
