Digital health literacy and infodemic awareness among preschool teachers: skills, behaviors, and determinants
In the study, preschool teachers had a moderate level of digital health literacy, with differences among the subscales. "Adding Content" was stronger, while Protecting Privacy was weaker. Although digital health literacy was associated with infodemic, its effect was limited; in the multiple analysis, only "Adding Content" was significant. Training in verification, privacy, and evidence-based content, in collaboration with family physicians, may contribute to strengthening teachers' infodemic management and public health interventions.
