Enhancing health literacy of populations is critical and in particular important at an early age, which is understood to be more sustainable because health literacy contributes to improved personal health and development. Low health literacy in child and adolescent populations has been linked to worse health outcomes and health disparities in Europe, making health literacy of children and adolescents an important public health topic. Developing and delivering target group specific interventions and services requires precise data generation on the state of health literacy in early age. In the past decade, several conceptual approaches have been undertaken but methodological sound, validated and reliable measurement tools are still scarce. Available systematic reviews show that most tools originated from North America and/or English speaking countries. However, in the past years European researchers have been involved with research on health literacy in childhood and adolescence, the result of which culminated into heavy progress regarding the development of health literacy measurement instruments, including generic health literacy, digital health and mental health literacy. These new developments lead to the availability of validated tools for school-aged children, including primary and secondary school children. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together five contemporary health literacy studies conducted in child and adolescent populations across Europe, including national and European-wide studies. Both methodological findings regarding the measurement tool and empirical data will be introduced. The first presentation emerges from the HLCA
