eHealth Literacy, Health Risk Behavior and Health Beliefs in Teenagers and Adults

Dear Colleagues,

The popularity and importance of online access to health information has inspired the creation of numerous eHealth information resources which help Internet users locate knowledge that can help promote and maintain personal health. For teens and young adults, online resources are their primary source of health information. Therefore, whether adolescents and young people have sufficient literacy ability to judge the authenticity and reliability of health information in large, diverse and even contradictory eHealth information is of increasing importance. Currently, the transmission of health knowledge has changed with the advancement of technology and media. This has placed young people in an unfavorable environment for reading health information. Therefore, this Special Issue hopes to provide correct information and cultivate Internet health literacy through the understanding, discussion and analysis of related issues
