dc.description The Turpanjian College of Health Sciences (CHS) of the American University of Armenia (AUA) has published this article on health literacy in Armenia in PLOS ONE, an open-access, high impact peer-reviewed scientific journal. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0307300 en_US
dc.description.abstract The success of health education programs heavily depends on the individuals’ ability to comprehend information and apply it when making decisions regarding health. Low health literacy can lead to poor health in the context of both chronic and infectious diseases, as it influences a range of health-related behaviors. Little is known about infectious disease-related health literacy in Armenia and countries of similar socio-economic profiles. We aimed to quantify the levels of infectious disease-related health literacy and knowledge among the Armenian population and explore the underlying socio-economic factors. en_US
