Resumo

A importância do estudo das competências que permitem aos jovens aproveitar o potencial dos media e da informação sobre saúde, de forma a promover um desenvolvimento saudável é unânime. Neste contexto, é impreterível aprofundar a investigação sobre a Literacia Mediática em Saúde (LMS) e dois conceitos com ela relacionados: a Literacia em Saúde (LS) e a eHealth Literacy (eHL). Inspirado pela literatura que aponta a importância dos fatores sociodemográficos nesta área, este estudo pretende explorar a Literacia Mediática em Saúde, a Literacia em Saúde e a eHealth Literacy, num grupo de adolescentes portugueses, na sua relação com o género, idade/escolaridade e área de residência. Para atingir o objetivo desta investigação, foram administrados inquéritos por questionário a 906 estudantes com idades compreendidas entre 11 e 19 anos de idade (M = 14,14) a frequentar o 7º, 9º e 11º anos de escolaridade em escolas dos distritos de Braga, Porto e Bragança. Os resultados revelaram que as competências analisadas tendem a ser superior nas raparigas e nos adolescentes com mais escolaridade.Com efeito, este estudo permite a identificação de populações com uma maior necessidade de promoção das capacidades inerentes à LMS, LS e eHealth Literacy, e inspirar sugestões para investigações futuras.
