This study examined the health literacy of international college students from Colombia visiting the United States. Thirty (30) students from a Colombian university completed the survey in October 2017. This pilot study surveyed international college students using the eHEALS and Newest Vital Signs (NVS) health literacy tools to determine the health literacy of this group. Although these students spoke English, a translator was provided. The results show 63% of participants agreed they were confident with filling out health forms alone. In terms of finding helpful health resources on the Internet, 87% of participants felt they knew to find health information, while 80% felt they knew to find the resources. There was no association between the health literacy and the confidence of completing forms alone or the perception of using the Internet to answer health questions and knowing where to find helpful resources on the Internet.
本研究调查了来自哥伦比亚、赴美交流的国际大学生的健康素养。2017年10月，来自一所哥伦比亚大学的30名学生完成了此项调查。这项试点研究使用eHEALS和最新生命体征（NVS）健康素养工具对国际大学生进行了调查，以确定该群体的健康素养。尽管这些学生能说英语，但还是提供了一名翻译。结果显示，63%的参与者表示他们有信心独自填写健康表格。在通过互联网查找有用的健康资源方面，87%的参与者觉得自己知道如何查找健康信息，而80%的人觉得自己知道如何找到这些资源。健康素养与独自填写表格的信心之间，以及利用互联网回答健康问题和知道在网上何处找到有用资源的认知之间均无关联。
