In Germany, more than half of the population has low health literacy. These people have difficulties in finding and classifying health-related information and adapting it to their own situation. Among them are many young people, highlighting the importance of interventions early in life to promote health literacy.This is where the "Fit in Health" program of the Health Information Services of the Helmholtz Munich Research Center and the German Cancer Research Center starts. The objective is to contribute to the promotion of different dimensions of health literacy among children and adolescents. To this end, innovative training formats for teachers and teaching materials for students at secondary levels I and II are being designed and evaluated. The major diseases cancer and diabetes mellitus are used as models to provide basic knowledge on their pathogenesis, prevention, treatment, and research. In addition, information about the structures of the healthcare system and materials to strengthen health literacy are provided. An accompanying evaluation collects indicator data on coverage and acceptance of the measures.Since 2018, the program has published 46 teaching materials and three course readers with background knowledge for teachers. Furthermore, 50 training courses have been held, with approximately 1600 teachers and multipliers taking part in face-to-face and online events by the end of 2021. More than 90% of the participants gave the respective events very good or good evaluations. Around 80% of the participants said they would like to include the topics taught in their lessons. Further expansion of the offers is planned. Testing of a set of materials with respect to the gain of health literacy in a sample of students is currently being prepared.
在德国，超过一半的人口健康素养较低。这些人在查找和分类与健康相关的信息以及将其应用于自身情况方面存在困难。其中有许多年轻人，这凸显了在生命早期进行干预以提高健康素养的重要性。这就是亥姆霍兹慕尼黑研究中心和德国癌症研究中心健康信息服务部的“健康塑形”项目的出发点。其目标是促进儿童和青少年在不同维度上的健康素养提升。为此，正在设计和评估针对中学一、二年级教师的创新培训形式以及针对学生的教材。以癌症和糖尿病这两种主要疾病为模型，提供关于其发病机制、预防、治疗和研究的基础知识。此外，还提供有关医疗保健系统结构的信息以及增强健康素养的材料。一项配套评估收集有关这些措施的覆盖范围和接受程度的指标数据。自2018年以来，该项目已出版了46份教材和三本带有教师背景知识的课程读物。此外，还举办了50场培训课程，截至2021年底，约有1600名教师和宣传推广人员参加了面对面和线上活动。超过90%的参与者对各自参加的活动给予了非常好或良好的评价。约80%的参与者表示他们希望将所学主题纳入自己的课程。计划进一步扩大提供的内容。目前正在准备对一组材料在学生样本中提升健康素养的效果进行测试。
