This study proposes a health socialization model and applies it to examine direct, relative and mediating roles of interpersonal and media health socialization agents in predicting adolescent self-reported health literacy. We conducted a paper-and-pencil survey among 452 seventh graders in rural and urban school districts. Our regression analysis results show that both interpersonal and media socialization agents are significantly and positively related to adolescent health literacy. Media socialization agents seem to play a strong role in health literacy orientation, not much weaker than those of interpersonal socialization agents. The proposed health socialization model could contribute to the literature on how adolescents acquire health-related information and channels through which they are most receptive.
本研究提出了一个健康社会化模型，并将其应用于检验人际和媒体健康社会化代理在预测青少年自我报告健康素养中的直接、相对和中介作用。我们在农村和城市学区的 452 名七年级学生中进行了纸笔调查。我们的回归分析结果表明，人际和媒体社会化代理都与青少年健康素养显著正相关。媒体社会化代理在健康素养导向方面似乎起着强大的作用，其作用并不亚于人际社会化代理。所提出的健康社会化模型有助于文献研究青少年如何获得与健康相关的信息，以及他们最容易接受的渠道。
