Current research shows that Australian teachers need more support to teach health education that promotes students' HL, with limited research focusing on pre-service teachers (PST). This study aims to identify the HL strengths and challenges of PST at one Australian university across two initial teacher education programs (HPE and primary) and compare their health literacy profiles with that of the Australian general population.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) was administered in March and April, 2022 to measure HL in Australian PST.

A high unhealthy food intake was more commonly reported among students with higher advertising awareness (APR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.32–1.58, <i>p</i> &lt; .001), as was a high unhealthy drink intake (APR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.18–1.42, <i>p</i> &lt; .001).</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Australian adolescents are vulnerable to the persuasive effects of food and drink marketing.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> So What?</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Greater restrictions on the way the food and drink industry can market their products to adolescents are needed to better support them in developing and maintaining positive dietary behaviours.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47379,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion Journal of Australia","volume":"35 4","pages":"1386-1392"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140946176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
