Abstract：
Health literacy is a significant element of education and is inextricably linked to children\'s and adolescents\' growth and prosperity. It is critical to monitor students\' health literacy on a nationwide scale and identify the factors that influence it in order to create policies that advance it. The purpose of this study was to determine the health literacy level of Greek secondary school students and to correlate it with possible determinants such as personal and family characteristics, social support and personal and/or family illness experiences. A representative sample of 2749 seventh-, ninth-, and tenth-grade students was involved. Results showed that a higher motivation to learn about health topics and having positive social interactions and support were strongly associated with a higher level of health literacy. Gender, high academic achievement, absence of learning disabilities, gender, preference for biology and informatics and primary source of health information were also found to influence the skills\' level. In order to enhance health literacy, the Greek educational system should take measures to include health literacy skills development goals in their curricula.
