Online Health Information Literacy Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure assesses an individual’s ability to locate, evaluate, and apply health-related information found online. The Online Health Information Literacy Scale is intended to capture perceived skills relevant to navigating digital sources of medical and wellness information, including critical appraisal and practical use in decision-making.
The instrument includes 8 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. It may be used in clinical, educational, or research contexts to help identify areas where additional support or instruction in digital health information use may be beneficial. Developed by Norman H. Nie and Lee Rainie, the Online Health Information Literacy Scale is commonly administered as a brief self-report screener and should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical information.
