Abstract

         This research was conducted to review the literature and synthesized components and indicators of health literacy for smoking prevention behaviors among early adolescents. Then, several aspects such as the objectivity, validity, appropriateness, feasibility of components, and health literacy indicators for smoking prevention behaviors among early adolescents were assessed and summarized as a model for indicators of health literacy for smoking prevention behaviors among early adolescents. The research method was divided into two steps: 1) A systematic review of the literature; and 2) An outline of the indicators and components of health literacy for smoking prevention behaviors among early adolescents. Seventeen experts validated the appropriateness and feasibility of Delphi Study metrics using median and interquartile ranges and summarized them as components of health literacy indicators for smoking prevention behaviors among early adolescents.

         The results showed that the majority of health literacy components and indicators for smoking prevention behaviors among early adolescents focused on training skills and abilities or competencies on an individual level. Furthermore, most of them reflected independent abilities and competencies. There were six components and twenty-five indicators: 1) Access to data (5 indicators), 2) Data analysis (4 indicators), 3) Cognitive performance (3 indicators), 4) Social skills (3 indicators), 5) Decision making (5 indicators), and 6) Self-management (5 indicators), with a median value greater than 3.50 and no more than 1.50 interquartile ranges.
