Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A healthy lifestyle is defined as knowing and controlling all the behaviors that may affect the health of the individual and regulating his daily activities by choosing the appropriate behaviors for his/her own health status.

While many factors are effective on healthy lifestyle behaviors, health literacy is one of these factors. One of the health literacy measurement tools is e-health literacy.

E-health literacy is "the ability to search for, find, understand, evaluate health information from electronic sources and apply this information to addressing or solving a health problem.

Digital literacy is the ability of an individual to access, select, use, criticize and evaluate information in new and developing digital technologies. In this respect, the importance of digital literacy is an undeniable fact in the health sector and is thought to be related to e-health literacy.

In this direction, this research was planned to evaluate the effect of web-based education to be given to young and old individuals on e-health literacy, digital literacy and healthy lifestyle behaviors.
