Information and health literacy for school students: the e-Bug experience in Italy

Abstract

Health information literacy plays a strategic role to promote both life skills and health among different target audiences. To face the phenomenon of antimicrobial resistance, an emerging key problem in public health, a European funded project was developed: e-Bug. The project aims to improve young people’s understanding of responsible antibiotic use through educational games on microbes, hygiene and the spread and prevention of infections, which allows children to learn while having fun.
