Sammanfattning

Health information literacy (HIL) refers to informational competencies needed for recognizing information needs and retrieving, assessing, and using information to make good health decisions. In contrast to other health literacies, its focus is on information behavior and practices. The concept originated in and has been used most often in the field of library and information science. While earlier studies have focused on HIL skills and measuring the level of HIL, recent studies have been influenced by the sociocultural strand of information literacy research emphasizing HIL as a situated, multimodal skillful practice in a sociocultural context rather than an assemblage of individual generic competencies.
