ABSTRACT

Summary sentence The work reports on associations between eHealth Literacy (eHL) and Mental Health Literacy (MHL), hypothesizing a positive association between them. No significant association was identified between overall eHL and MHL. However, understanding online content correlated with knowledge (r = .18, P = .004) and lower stigma (r = -.15, P = .015). A distinction between perceived and actual knowledge is made.
