Abstract:

This research delves into the interplay between three pivotal literacies in the digital age–information literacy, data literacy, and privacy literacy—and the receptivity towards the adoption of emerging technology within communities, with a specific focus on the chatbot ChatGPT. Data was gathered through online surveys conducted among adults residing in a four-county region in northern Texas during a two-week period in late 2022, yielding 130 valid responses. The results of regression analysis indicate a positive association between the inclination to utilize ChatGPT for enhancing one's community and proficiency in information literacy and privacy literacy. However, an unexpected observation emerges as data literacy skills do not exhibit a significant relationship with this inclination, despite ChatGPT's standing as a data science innovation. Moreover, age, gender, educational attainment, and internet usage patterns are identified as influential factors in these associations. These findings hold substantial importance in comprehending the intricate dynamics of how diverse literacies and individual and community-related variables mutually shape each other's development.

Abstract:

The research aims to explore the associations between the determinants of financial literacy among the young population of Haryana, India. The research methodology included collecting data from 117 respondents through a well-structured questionnaire and investigating the associations using Chi-square criteria. The results of this research show a strong association between the determinants of financial literacy (financial knowledge, financial attitude, and financial behaviour). Among the research limitations are the relatively small sample size and inclusion of only the rural population of Haryana. This research will help researchers, policymakers and governments to focus on financial knowledge, financial attitude and financial behaviour as determinants for strengthening financial literacy.

Abstract:

Post-secondary students bring with them unique skills and knowledge which may affect their learning. Information literacy (IL) is a set of abilities which permits the discovery of information as well as using this information to create new knowledge (Association of College and Research Libraries, 2016). While IL abilities are heralded as important, it is difficult to find a simple measure of information literacy, especially since its conceptualization as a framework (Association of College and Research Libraries, 2016). In this paper, we propose a new online measure of information literacy—Your Information Literacy Practices (YILP)—which aligns with the new framework. We compare it to another published measure of IL and student resourcefulness. Implications and recommendations for its use are discussed.

Abstract:

6573 Background: Cancer patients are at a higher risk of financial burden compared to those with other chronic illnesses and those without cancer. Additionally, cancer patients with low health literacy are at risk for poor health outcomes and poor self-management. Aside from factors such as education and insurance, there is limited information on the role of modifiable factors in predicting financial burden and health literacy. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors associated with financial burden and health literacy among cancer patients. Methods: Participants were 2,260 adult, English- or Spanish-speaking patients who were recruited from an NCI-designated cancer center in the Chicagoland area as part of a trial on symptom management. Participants completed measures on depressive symptoms and anxiety using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). Financial burden was assessed using a Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST FACIT) item (FT12) and health literacy was assessed by the Single Item Literacy Screener (SILS). Additional information on insurance and cancer diagnosis were extracted from medical records. The area deprivation index (ADI) was calculated using national percentile rankings for the patient’s block group. All patient-reported outcomes were assessed at study baseline. Cross-sectional logistic regression models were fit with the FT12 item [dichotomized as high (somewhat/quite a bit/very much) vs. low (not at all/a little bit) financial burden] and SILS [dichotomized as high (quite a bit/extremely) vs. low (not at all/a little bit/somewhat) health literacy] as separate outcomes. The primary covariates of interest were anxiety and depressive symptoms T-scores (dichotomized reflect normal limits vs. elevated distress). Analyses were adjusted for socio-demographic and clinical characteristics. Results: After adjusting for covariates, significant associations of greater financial burden were PROMIS depression [odds ratio (OR): 1.63 (95% CI: 1.22-2.19)] and PROMIS anxiety (OR: 1.60; 95% CI: 1.22-2.10). In addition, higher ADI score, lower education, unemployment, and low health literacy were significantly associated with greater financial burden. PROMIS depression (OR: 2.15; 95% CI: 1.38-3.40) was associated with low heath literacy, along with disability/leave of absence, Medicare/Medicaid/uninsured and lower education. Conclusions: Modifiable factors are associated with financial burden and health literacy. These results support the systematic screening for financial burden and health literacy in addition emotional well-being. Interventions targeting the modifiable factors elucidated in this study may further efforts to provide quality and equitable comprehensive cancer care. Future work should evaluate the potential causal pathways between depression, health literacy, and financial burden.

The Literacy Research Association (LRA) is known for releasing research reports on essential topics in the field of literacy. An Examination of Dyslexia Research and Instruction, with Policy Implications is a recent LRA report with far-reaching impact in education and policy. The report claimed to be a summary of dyslexia research and instruction, however, much recent research on dyslexia definitions, diagnosis, interventions, neuroscience, and law was left out. This paper is a response to the LRA report with the intent to examine elements of the report that are particularly important and well explained, as well as those that are problematic.

Abstract:

In this article, Catherine Snow, Twakia Martin, and Ilene Berman describe professional development institutes offered in 2001 and 2002 by the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices to familiarize state-level policymakers with research on adolescent literacy and to guide states' development of effective literacy plans. The authors then review the literacy plans that four of the participating states developed in the years following their institute involvement and discuss ways in which the content of the literacy institutes is reflected in these states' plans. In conclusion, the authors call on higher education institutions to help state policymakers develop and evaluate initiatives intended to increase adolescents' reading skills. They also call for broader cross-state comparisons of states' strategies for improving adolescent literacy.

Abstract:

Financial literacy is the ability of a person to make rational financial decisions. Financial knowledge helps to prepare individuals for tough financial times by encouraging strategies that mitigate risk such as retirement planning, health insurance, children education. The study was conducted in Mumbai city and a questionnaire was administered to collect data from the respondents. The research aimed to study the association between demographic profile (age, gender, education qualification and income) of the individuals and their financial literacy. To test the association between demographic profile and financial literacy of the respondents’ Chi- Square test was performed. The study found that there was no significant association between gender, income and financial literacy. It was also found that there was significant association between age, educational qualification and financial literacy.

Abstract:

Financial literacy is fundamentally spreading the awareness of good money and management practices. It includes all currency transactions made by a person, such as income, expenses, savings, loans, and investments. Financial literacy is a process of making sense of and indulgent financial issues and situations. In the present study, authors have presented an association of demographic factors towards financial literacy among women in Vizianagaram, Andhrapradesh. The sample size of 540 women from various areas of Vizianagaram has been incorporated for the research. A structured questionnaire designed on a 5 point Likert scale has been used based on a simple sampling method. The association between independent variables, i.e., demographic factors, is investigated by applying One-way Anova for hypothesis testing. The findings revealed that the financial literacy of women has a moderate association with demographic factors.

Abstract:

Objective Digital divide in health-related technology use is a prominent issue for older adults. Improving eHealth literacy may be an important solution to this problem. This study aimed to explore the associations between health literacy, digital skills, and eHealth literacy among older Chinese adults. Methods A total of 2,144 older adults (mean age, 72.01 ± 6.96 years) from Jinan City, China participated in this study. The eHealth Literacy Scale was used to measure eHealth literacy in older adults. A linear regression model was used to analyze the associations among health literacy, digital skills, and eHealth literacy in older Chinese adults. Results The mean eHealth literacy score of the older adults was 17.56 ± 9.61. After adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and experience of Internet usage, the results of the linear regression showed that health literacy ( B = 0.258, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.215–0.302, P< 0.001) and digital skills ( B = 0.654, 95% CI = 0.587–0.720, P < 0.001) were positively associated with eHealth literacy. Sensitivity analyses revealed that this association remained robust. Conclusions The level of eHealth literacy in older Chinese adults is low. Health literacy and digital skills are associated with eHealth literacy in older adults. In the future, eHealth literacy intervention research should be considered from the perspective of health literacy and digital skills.

Abstract:

From a sociopedagogical perspective, literacy development in preschool is conceptualized as a social phenomenon. Sociopedagogical models emphasize the connection between family and school processes to foster children’s literacy competences and parental involvement. Although contemporary models regarding parental involvement reflect its multidimensional and multilevel nature, research focusing on early literacy mainly addresses certain parenting practices, especially at home, and their association with a few literacy skills. Based on Bronfenbrenner’s bioecosystemic theory, Epstein’s model of overlapping spheres of influence and the typology of parental involvement as well as Rohde’s Comprehensive Emergent Literacy Model, the present study investigates how different dimensions and components of parental involvement interact to affect young children’s literacy competences. We investigate the complex relationships among all dimensions of parental involvement and their association with children’s literacy outcomes. Additionally, we explore the role of several contextual factors (children’s age, parental education, urbanity, number of children’s books) in these associations. Parents of 214 typically developing children aged 4–6 years filled in four parent-report scales developed and validated for measuring the different dimensions of parental involvement and children’s literacy competences. Results illustrate how multilevel parental practices mediate the effect of literacy-related parental perceptions and family–school relationships on children’s literacy competences. Among the contextual factors, only maternal education was found to have a robust, albeit indirect, effect on literacy outcomes. Implications about the school’s role and strategic planning in promoting literacy-focused parental involvement are discussed.

Abstract:

The APPsyCI, a Portuguese research center, decided to incorporate, in all its areas of activity, a research line within Open Science articulated with information literacy (IL). The Open Science assumptions were implemented through several actions: repository management, teacher and researcher training, support for choosing the journals where to publish, dissemination, and promotion of scientific knowledge within FAIR principles. The social and academic impact of the research line provides some light on the national landscape for research innovation and broadens horizons and sheds when combining IL with Open Science. Thus, the creation of this research line within the research center shows that the association of Open Science with IL can be considered as the path and object of applied research.

Abstract:

My presidential address focuses on three themes. First, I introduce and trouble the idea of literacy research as white property, drawing on my own research and the history of the Literacy Research Association (LRA) as an organization. Second, I argue that even critically oriented scholarship runs the risk of reproducing power relations it sets out to critique without a reflexive look at segregated flows of knowledge. Third, I present a short video project and organizational storybank that highlights how LRA members are using their research to build equitable flows of knowledge. I argue that LRA has contributed a great deal to educational equity and still has farther to go.

Abstract:

The association between performance on health literacy measures and health outcomes is well established. The next step is to understand the processes through which health literacy affects health. This review introduces a framework drawing on ideas from health psychology and proposing that associations between health literacy and health outcomes could be mediated by a range of health actions involving access and use of health care, patient—provider interactions, and the management of health and illness. The framework outlines routes through which health literacy might affect either health actions themselves or the motivational and volitional determinants that have been identified in social cognition models. The implications of the framework for future research and intervention strategies are discussed.

Abstract:

Poor food literacy behaviours may contribute to food insecurity in developed countries. The aim of this research was to describe the apparent prevalence of food insecurity in adults at enrolment in a food literacy program and to examine the relationship between food insecurity and a range of independent variables. Individuals attending the Food Sensations® for Adults program in Western Australia from May 2016 to April 2018 completed a pre-program questionnaire (n = 1433) indicating if they had run out of money for food in the past month (food insecurity indicator), frequency of food literacy behaviours, selected dietary behaviours, and demographic characteristics. The level of food insecurity reported by participants (n = 1379) was 40.5%. Results from multiple logistic regression demonstrated that behaviours related to planning and management, shopping, preparation, and cooking were all statistically independently associated with food insecurity, in addition to soft/soda drink consumption, education, employment status, and being born in Australia. The results are salient as they indicate an association between food literacy and food insecurity. The implications are that food insecure participants may respond differently to food literacy programs. It may be necessary to screen people enrolling in programs, tailor program content, and include comprehensive measures in evaluation to determine effect on the impact of food literacy programs on different subgroups.

Abstract:

Literacy underwent revolutionary growth in northwestern Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This revolution coincided with other dramatic changes in European society, such as the industrial, demographic, agricultural, political, and religious revolutions (Deane 1969: 20–84). While the relationships between literacy and these other revolutions are not fully understood, their association is apparent and many potential influences exist (Cipolla 1969; Cremin 1970; Graff 1981: 232–60; 1987a, 1987b; Jensen 1986: 114–28; Maynes 1985: 117–31; Mitch 1984, 1988; Sanderson 1983; West 1978). The transplantation of European society across the Atlantic brought the literacy revolution to the American periphery. While numerous studies have shown that colonial America participated in this expansion of literacy, the common longitudinal patterns of literacy growth across the various regions and populations of colonial America have received less attention.

Abstract:

The Association of College and Research Libraries recommends incorporating information literacy (IL) skills across university and college curricula, for the goal of developing information literate graduates. Congruent with this goal, the Departments of Biological Sciences and Information Science developed an integrated IL and scientific literacy (SL) exercise for use in a first-year biology course. Students were provided the opportunity to access, retrieve, analyze, and evaluate primary scientific literature. By the completion of this project, student responses improved concerning knowledge and relevance of IL and SL skills. This project exposes students to IL and SL early in their undergraduate experience, preparing them for future academic advancement.

Abstract:

People with mental illness often do not receive proper mental health services. Lack of knowledge and social stigma are factors contributing to the low prevalence of seeking help for mental health problems. In low- and middle-income countries, only around one-fifth of the population receives adequate treatment, and this situation is similar in South Asian countries. Objective: The main objective of this review is to identify research on mental health literacy and stigma in SAARC countries. Methods: Three databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, and EMBASE) were searched up to September 20, 2022. A total of 47 articles were included in the review, of which five met the inclusion criteria. Thematic analysis was conducted to review the articles. Results: The relationship between mental health literacy and stigma was found to be negative, meaning that an increase in literacy decreased stigma and vice versa. The main barriers to treatment were stigma and lack of financial means to afford care. Conclusion: Government planners and policymakers should implement mental health literacy programs to reduce stigma and encourage help-seeking behavior among individuals with mental illness. The data highlights the positive effects of anti-stigma campaigns on mental health literacy and help-seeking.

Abstract:

Objectives Graphic display formats are often used to enhance health information. Yet limited attention has been paid to graph literacy in people of lower education and lower socioeconomic status (SES). This study aimed to: 1) examine the relationship between graph literacy, numeracy, health literacy and sociodemographic characteristics in a Medicaid-eligible population 2) determine the impact of graph literacy on comprehension and preference for different visual formats. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional online survey among people in the US on Medicaid, and of presumed lower education and SES. Results The mean graph literacy score among 436 participants was 1.47 (SD 1.05, range: 0 to 4). Only graph literacy was significantly associated with overall comprehension (p < .001). Mean comprehension scores were highest for the table format (1.91), closely followed by bar graph (1.85) and icon array (1.80). Information comprehension was aligned with preference scores. Conclusions Graph literacy in a Medicaid-eligible population was lower than previous estimates in the US. Tables were better understood, with icon arrays yielding the lowest score. Preferences aligned with comprehension. Practice implications It may be necessary to reconsider the use of graphic display formats when designing information for people with lower educational levels. Further research is needed.

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to draw attention to the original and diverse approaches to the concept of information literacy in the German academic world. Unlike the American notion of information literacy, whose pedagogy, methodology and conceptualization follow guidelines set forth by powerful professional organisations such as ACRL (Association of College and Research Libraries) and ALA (American Library Association), the German notion of information literacy is still negotiated on an interdisciplinary market of ideas ranging from communication science to didactics and from cultural anthropology to epistemology. An awareness of this international perspective on information literacy is timely, given the recent debates about the legitimacy of the radically new approach to information literacy put forth in the ACRL Framework.

Abstract:

AbstractHigher health literacy is associated with higher cognitive function and better health. Despite its wide use in medical research, no study has investigated the genetic contributions to health literacy. Using 5783 English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) participants (mean age = 65.49, SD = 9.55) who had genotyping data and had completed a health literacy test at wave 2 (2004–2005), we carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of health literacy. We estimated the proportion of variance in health literacy explained by all common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Polygenic profile scores were calculated using summary statistics from GWAS of 21 cognitive and health measures. Logistic regression was used to test whether polygenic scores for cognitive and health-related traits were associated with having adequate, compared to limited, health literacy. No SNPs achieved genome-wide significance for association with health literacy. The proportion of variance in health literacy accounted for by common SNPs was 8.5% (SE = 7.2%). Greater odds of having adequate health literacy were associated with a 1 standard deviation higher polygenic score for general cognitive ability [OR = 1.34, 95% CI (1.26, 1.42)], verbal-numerical reasoning [OR = 1.30, 95% CI (1.23, 1.39)], and years of schooling [OR = 1.29, 95% CI (1.21, 1.36)]. Reduced odds of having adequate health literacy were associated with higher polygenic profiles for poorer self-rated health [OR = 0.92, 95% CI (0.87, 0.98)] and schizophrenia [OR = 0.91, 95% CI (0.85, 0.96)). The well-documented associations between health literacy, cognitive function and health may partly be due to shared genetic etiology. Larger studies are required to obtain accurate estimates of SNP-based heritability and to discover specific health literacy-associated genetic variants.

AbstractThe aim of the study is to assess the health literacy of women who are using health services within the Gynecology Obstetric Clinic “Narodni Front” in Belgrade. Testing of health literacy was conducted as a cross-sectional study in the period October-November 2012. As instruments of research the following questionnaires are used: Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults and General information questionnaire of respondents who referred to the demographic, social and economic characteristics of respondents, self-assessment of health, use of health services, health knowledge and behavior in the area of reproductive health. Inadequate health literacy level is registered in every ten respondents. The education level of the respondents proved to be a significant predictor of health literacy. Demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the patients (age, occupation, marital status) as well as self-evaluation of the health status were not significantly related to the health literacy. Health literacy respondents did not significantly dependent on risk behaviors related to reproductive health. The level of health literacy is consistent with the knowledge of subjects in the field of protection of reproductive health. Health literacy as the ability to function within the health care system is equally certain by individual characteristics and skills, characteristics of the health and education systems as well as a wide range of social and cultural factors. Health literacy is more systematic than individual problem, so it requires a broader social action.

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of the present systematic review was to investigate the evidence on the association between food literacy and adolescents’ dietary intake.DesignThe review included searches of six databases with no restriction on the year of publication or language.SettingThe studies eligible for review were from five countries/regions: USA (n 6), Europe (n 4), Australia (n 1), Middle East (n 1) and South Africa (n 1).SubjectsAdolescents aged 10 to 19 years.ResultsThirteen studies were eligible for inclusion. None of the studies investigated all aspects of food literacy. Eight studies reported a positive association between food literacy and adolescents’ dietary intake. For example, adolescents with greater food knowledge and frequent food preparation behaviours were shown to have healthier dietary practices. Three studies found a mixed association of food literacy and adolescents’ dietary intake. For example, adolescents who frequently helped to prepare dinner had healthier dietary intake, but food shopping tasks were associated with less healthy food choices. Two studies found no association between measures of food literacy and adolescents’ dietary intake.ConclusionsFood literacy may play a role in shaping adolescents’ dietary intake. More rigorous research methods are required to effectively assess the causality between food literacy and adolescents’ dietary intake in order to confirm the extent of the relationship. Evidence recommends public health practitioners and policy makers consider new public health strategies that focus on increasing understanding of food literacy in adolescence.

Abstract:

In 2015 the American Association of College & Research Libraries jettisoned its long-standing set of Information Literacy Standards for Higher Education and adopted the richer, more flexible Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Composed of core concepts rather than prescriptive objectives, the Framework more closely mirrors the complexity of the rapidly evolving academic environment and encourages engagement on the part of students. However, many instruction librarians find that the Frame’s flexibility also poses pedagogical challenges. The authors describe how instruction librarians at one university library have adapted and used a popular mnemonic device when presenting the Frames, thus promoting greater student reflection and interaction.

Abstract:

Low levels of financial literacy cause people to have lower savings rates, higher transaction costs, larger debts and the loans acquisition with higher interest rates, therefore it becomes relevant to analyze the determinants of financial literacy. The aim of this research is to identify whether there is an association between the financial literacy level and sociodemographic characteristics. The Mexican Petroleum Company (Pemex) employees is the population analyzed. Pemex is the state-owned oil and natural gas producer, transporter, refiner and marketer in Mexico. A non-probabilistic convenience sampling was performed and 404 responses were obtained. The analysis of data was carried out with the Bayesian method. The results show that there is an association between Pemex employees’ level of financial literacy and their level of education, income, age and type of retirement saving. No association was found between their level of financial literacy and gender, marital status and whether or not they have children.

Abstract:

This study investigated the association between healthy eating behaviors and nutrition literacy in a sample of Bangladeshi adults. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 400 adults from two districts of Bangladesh (Dhaka and Chattogram). Data were generated by in-person interviews using a structured questionnaire. The Nutrition Literacy Scale and National Dietary Guidelines for Bangladesh were used to assess nutrition literacy and healthy eating behaviors, respectively. Multiple linear regression models were used to observe the association. The mean score for healthy eating behavior was 21.8 (SD = 4.8, Range: 5–33) on a scale of 34. A moderate positive correlation was found between nutrition literacy and healthy eating behavior of participants (r = 0.28, p < 0.001). The adjusted regression model showed that a 1 unit increase in nutrition literacy reflected an increase in the healthy eating behavior score of participants by 0.22 units (β = 0.223, p < 0.001). Findings showed an association between nutrition literacy and eating behaviors in Bangladeshi adults. Future research could be carried out to establish a causal relationship that may help inform the necessity of educational interventions for Bangladeshi adults to assist with meeting national nutrition-related targets.

Research findings in this study are infodemic which occurred during the pandemic, also hit neighborhood association’s WAG 09 Dipowinatan. Two more years passed the Covid-19 Pandemic in Indonesia. The Indonesian people, especially the residents of neighborhood association 09 Dipowinatan, are taking a new order in dealing with Covid-19, including experiencing an infodemic. Infodemic occurs because of digital media and social media, which is very fast in disseminating information to receive the information quickly. The information regarding Covid-19 was no exception that the residents of neighborhood association 09 Dipowinatan received through the WhatsApp Group (WAG) Thus, digital literacy is needed for residents in dealing with this infodemic situation. This situation does not rule out that the information is disseminated, the information included in the disinformation group. However, this situation can anticipate with the digital literacy skills that residents must select and sort out the right information during the infodemic. State apparatus through the Head of neighborhood association / hamlet, and religious leaders in practice in neighborhood association’s WAG O9 can also be an alternative to mediating in situations if there is a debate in finding the truth regarding misinformation in WAG.

Creative and inspiring rules are competencies in independent learning. The Merdeka curriculum needs to integrate digital literacy into learning. digital literacy is important especially for students who attend the special school in order to have the ability to understand and implement digital literacy-based learning processes. To develop digital literacy in SLB, a digital literacy learning design is needed. In Riau Province, there is no special school education unit that has a digital literacy-based curriculum, based on interviews with supervisors and the head of the Riau special school principals association. Based on this description, the research team felt it was important to develop digital literacy-based learning in SLB. The aim to be achieved through this research is the preparation of a learning design that can be implemented in special school education units. The research methodology used is a research and development with research stages: exploratory study, FGD exploratory study, drafting of the model, conceptual and operational testing of the model, and developing a digital literacy-based curriculum. The results of the study are in the form of a learning design that includes a digital literacy learning framework and a learning development formula for the digital literacy curriculum. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in teacher knowledge between before and after following the digital literacy-based curriculum model of 0.892 (89.2%) at α = 0.05.

Abstract:

Purpose – This study aims to provide an understanding of current practice and informs the further development of guides as key instructional tools. To assess the existing landscape of research guides as instructional tools, researchers examined the instructional content and associated media formats of online psychology research guides. Design/methodology/approach – Researchers devised an instrument utilizing Standard Two of the Association of College and Research Libraries’ (ACRL’s) Psychology Information Literacy Standards and inventoried the instructional content and associated media formats of a sample set of 36 psychology research guides. Findings – Although online research guides offer a platform for presenting instructional content in myriad formats, it was found that the sample set of psychology research guides rarely incorporated instructional content. Research limitations/implications – Psychology course guides were not part of the sample set; it is possible that guide authors approach the addition of instructional content in course guides differently than in general psychology subject guides. Practical implications – This paper provides an overview of how libraries are, or are not, using research guides as part of their instruction program. The researchers propose a framework for adding instructional content to psychology guides using Standard Two. Originality/value – Considering the ubiquity of online research guides on academic library Web sites, little research on the existing integration of instructional content into guides has been published. This study offers a snapshot of current guide practice and proposes a practical, systematic and unique model for aligning information literacy standards with guide content areas which has not been proposed elsewhere.

Abstract:

Objective: The research aims to ascertain the influence and examine the function of materialism (centrality, success, and pleasure) on impulsive online purchasing using financial literacy as a moderating factor. Design/Methods/Approach: The quantitative study uses the SEM analysis technique with the assistance of the SmartPLS 3.6 software. This research uses a purposive sampling strategy to choose 415 individuals. Sample criteria: 1) Minimum age of 17 years and maximum age of 25 years; 2) Online transaction including an impulsive buy. Google form is used to get the data. Findings: The findings indicated that materialism and impulsive online buying have a positive and substantial impact. The association between financial literacy and materialism could not be moderated. The association between financial literacy and impulsive online buying is nonexistent. However, the relationship between central, happiness, and success on materialism is significant. Originality: Materialism and financial literacy work together to impact impulsive internet purchase choices. During the pandemic, it was found that Malang's students' financial literacy did not have a significant influence on their buying habits. This suggests that disadvantaged students are nevertheless prone to impulsive internet purchases despite their materialistic outlook.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Hypertension disproportionately affects ethnic minority groups. Although health literacy may play role in these ethnic inequalities, little is known about the extent to which health literacy affects hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment and control in different ethnic groups. Therefore, we assessed these associations in a multi-ethnic population. Methods Baseline data from the HELIUS study were used including participants of Dutch (n = 1948), South-Asian Surinamese (n = 2054) and African Surinamese (n = 1932) origin aged 18–70 years, who lived in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, were fluent in Dutch and underwent health literacy assessment through the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine–Dutch (REALM-D). The REALM-D was categorized either as low (<60 sumscore) or adequate (≥60 sumscore) health literacy. Participants completed questionnaires and underwent physical examination. Results After adjusting for confounding variables, Dutch [odds ratio (OR) 2.02; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.11–3.64] and African Surinamese (OR 1.36; 1.03–1.79) with low health literacy were more likely than those with adequate health literacy to have hypertension, whereas in South-Asian Surinamese this association was not significant. No significant associations were found between health literacy and hypertension awareness, treatment and control in any of the ethnic groups. Conclusion Findings indicate that health literacy is associated with hypertension prevalence in selected ethnic groups, but not with hypertension awareness, treatment and control. Targeting health literacy might be an entry point for tackling ethnic inequalities in hypertension prevalence. To substantially reduce these inequalities, further research is needed to explore other factors and pathways through which health literacy may impact hypertension outcomes in different ethnic groups.
