- HLS19-DIGI - a new instrument for measuring digital health literacy: development, validation and associations with determinants and health outcomes in 13 countriesPublication . the HLS19 Consortium of the WHO Action Network M-POHL; Levin-Zamir, Diane; Broucke, Stephan Van den; Bíró, Éva; Bøggild, Henrik; Bruton, Lucy; Gani, Saskia Maria De; Finbråten, Hanne Søberg; Gibney, Sarah; Griebler, Robert; Griese, Lennert; Guttersrud, Øystein; Klocháňová, Zuzana; Kucera, Zdenek; Le, Christopher; Link, Thomas; Mancini, Julien; Miksova, Dominika; Schaeffer, Doris; Silva, Carlota Ribeiro da; Sørensen, Kristine; Straßmayr, Christa; Arriaga, Miguel Telo de; Vrdelja, Mitja; Pelikan, JürgenIntroduction: Digital health information sources are playing an increasingly prominent role in health promotion, public health and in healthcare systems. Consequently, digital health literacy skills are likewise becoming increasingly important. Methods: Using a concept validation approach, the aim of the study was to validate a digital health literacy measure applied in the European Health Literacy Survey 2019–2021 (HLS19) of the WHO M-POHL Network, analyzing data from 28,057 respondents from 13 European countries. Results: The scale displayed high internal consistency. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) strengthened the hypothesized one-factor structure. In most countries, the data displayed acceptable fit to the unidimensional Rasch partial credit model (PCM). Pearson correlation with a measure of general health literacy showed sufficient discriminant validity, and a social gradient was found. Testing for predictive validity showed that the scale score predicts health-related outcomes. Discussion: The study shows that considerable proportions of the general adult populations across countries in Europe have limited DHL skills. The level of DHL has direct potential consequences for some forms of health service utilization, in some countries. Implications of the study include recommendations for improving digital health literacy, promoting organizational health literacy and quality assurance for digital health information and resources.

- A technological overview on intervention projects in ageing populationPublication . Arriaga, Miguel; Filipe, Jessica; Mata, Francisco; Chaves, Nicole; Raposo, Beatriz; Rosa, Marta; Silva, Carlota Ribeiro da; Camara, Gisele; Horgan, Rita; Santos, Benvinda dos; Costa, AndreiaPurpose: Given the new society challenges and the growing elderly population in Portugal, the promotion of active and healthy aging is a priority. Consequently, there is a need to create intervention programs and projects using digital and technological platforms, to promote the good practices in this area, as this is one of the main goals of the International Center on Ageing (CENIE). The objectives are the creation of a national registration database, the intervention programs / projects implemented survey in Portugal, the status verification of each project through available information and its characterization and detailed analysis of the interventions to identify good practice criteria in the development, implementation, evaluation and reporting process as well as the constant underlying technological update. Design/methodology/approach: Ninety-six interventions, carried out between 2004 and 2018, were identified to contribute for improving the quality of life and autonomy of the elderly, carried out between 2004 and 2018. Findings: Among these, the main themes are the fall prevention, physical activity promotion, promotion of intergenerational relations, healthy eating promotion, promotion of cognitive development and the promotion of socialization. Practical implications: Suggestions for future investigations include the need to engage contact with entities, such as Health Center clusters and City Councils, in order to validate the existence of updated and innovative interventions, as well as to carry out a thorough evaluation, so as to characterize and describe interventions that promote attitude changes and good practice development opportunities with the purpose of increasing and extending quality of life in accordance with this new life cycle configuration.
