Abstract
Health literacy skills have become an important asset in maintaining or improving our health. Leisure time monitors are health agents who must be trained to transmit this type of knowledge.
The objective of the study was to determine the level of health literacy of the free time monitors and its relationship with socio-demographic variables.
Among the main results we have found a low level of health literacy of the monitors. Men have a higher level in the health promotion dimension, as well as the ability to make decisions about health-related risk factors. In married people the capacity is greater in attention and health care and to understand health-related information and understand its meaning. Monitors who have professional or training links with the health field achieve a higher score in SA. Curiously, the subdimension access to health care and care is greater in the semi-rural area than in the rural area and even in the urban area, and the monitors with lower studies have a higher level of health promotion and in the capacities to process or evaluate the health care and care. Those with higher incomes have higher levels of SA in attention to understand, attention to process, promotion to understand
It would be important to modify the training programs of this group to facilitate the consolidation of knowledge and healthy habits.
