“…In public health and health promotion, health literacy is considered an important resource for individual and collective empowerment ( Nutbeam, 2000 ; Kickbusch, 2001 ). Among the different types of health literacies, critical health literacy (CHL) has recently gained increased attention in health research with the number of publications substantially increasing since 2010 ( Benkert and Abel, 2022 ). It was originally drawn from the concept of critical literacy, which focused on individuals’ abilities to analyse and use information as a means of greater autonomy and empowerment ( Nutbeam, 2000 ; Sykes et al, 2013 ).…”

Summary Health literacy research is growing rapidly and broadly; however, conceptual advances in critical health literacy (CHL) seem hampered by a lack of a clear definition. In this paper, we refer to key features of the concept as identified in earlier works, offer a new definition of CHL and briefly discuss its theoretical roots. Reflection and action are suggested as the two constituent components of CHL. Consequences for future research are also discussed.

The cognitive and social practices associated with critical health literacy, such as critical appraisal of health messages and participation in political processes to address wider determinants of health, are of lifelong benefit. Understanding how and where critical health literacy development can be supported early in the life course may improve health outcomes now and in the future. This scoping review focuses on how critical health literacy in children is conceptualized and the supportive environments available for its development. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines are used in reporting. Evidence retrieved was eligible for inclusion if it contained a substantive conceptual or empirical study of critical health literacy in populations aged 7–11 (middle childhood). From the included 18 peer-reviewed and grey literature sources, schools are identified as the setting most associated with the development of critical health literacy in the target age group. However, the action-oriented dimension of critical health literacy is rarely supported in the school setting. The review concludes that further research is needed to clarify how and where to support children to develop critical health literacy in and outside of school settings.
