An Italian Survey 2020-09-12 .txt text/plain 3801 200 49 This study aimed to assess HL among undergraduates from healthcare and non-healthcare degree courses of two Italian universities and the association between their HL, lifestyles, and BMI assumed as health outcome. This study aims to: (i) evaluate the levels of HL, in all its dimensions, among undergraduates attending healthcare and non-healthcare related degree courses in two Italian universities; (ii) identify possible group differences; (iii) investigate the relationship between undergraduates' HL, health-related behaviors and BMI assumed as health outcome. In order to highlight different issues related to specific HL skills requiring targeted educational interventions [26] , two validated questionnaires were used to assess all the domains of participants' HL: the eight-item Health Literacy Assessment Tool (HLAT-8) developed by Abel et al. As indicated by NVS score, 68.8% of the whole sample showed adequate literacy and numeracy, while the communication and information skills evaluated through the HLAT-8 questionnaire were above average, with significantly higher levels found in nursing students. ./cache/cord-013317-s6ss95h6.txt ./txt/cord-013317-s6ss95h6.txt
