Turkey (Türkiye)80 participantsStarted 2023-09-10

Plain-language summary

A healthy lifestyle is defined as knowing and controlling all the behaviors that may affect the health of the individual and regulating his daily activities by choosing the appropriate behaviors for his/her own health status. While many factors are effective on healthy lifestyle behaviors, health literacy is one of these factors. One of the health literacy measurement tools is e-health literacy. E-health literacy is "the ability to search for, find, understand, evaluate health information from electronic sources and apply this information to addressing or solving a health problem. Digital literacy is the ability of an individual to access, select, use, criticize and evaluate information in new and developing digital technologies. In this respect, the importance of digital literacy is an undeniable fact in the health sector and is thought to be related to e-health literacy. In this direction, this research was planned to evaluate the effect of web-based education to be given to young and old individuals on e-health literacy, digital literacy and healthy lifestyle behaviors.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
