| Abstract | Instruments for measuring health literacy in adolescents are based on very heterogeneous definitions and concepts. They can be divided into subjective (self-assessment) and objective (performance-related) procedures. The present study used two subjective (eHEALS, short form of HLS-EU-Q16) and one objective measurement instrument (CLAIM) with 471 adolescents from grades 6 and 7 (mean age 13.04 years; 49 % girls; 63 % family language German). It investigated the correlations with each other and with cognitive and reading skills and analyzed differences relative to gender and family language. The subjective and objective measures showed no correlations with each other. This result supports the assumption that they capture different facets of health literacy. Correlations with reading and cognitive skills were found only in the objective instrument, whereas the self-assessment instruments fail to reflect these aspects of health literacy. Differences regarding gender and family language were particularly evident with the objective instrument, although response bias may have been present with the self-assessments. When selecting instruments, one must consider the specific advantages and disadvantages of subjective and objective procedures. © 2022 Hogrefe Verlag. |
