Previous research in South African AYA suggests that health literacy levels are typically suboptimal but few interventions exist. This study aimed to test the acceptability and feasibility of a co-created, interactive health literacy intervention (LifeLab-Soweto) with AYA in Soweto, South Africa.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Participants (18–24 years, <i>n</i> = 107) were recruited (September–October 2022) from a youth development centre database by telephone and through snowball sampling. AYA involved in the co-creation process were excluded. Pre-intervention data on participant age, gender identity and ability to correctly identify a normal blood pressure (BP) reading were captured via survey. Post-intervention, participants repeated the BP question and completed a satisfaction survey. Additionally, <i>n</i> = 31 AYA agreed to an in-depth interview about their LifeLab-Soweto experience.

Comparing pre- and post-intervention BP question accuracy, males showed the greatest improvement in scores. Interviews showed that, while LifeLab-Soweto was not what AYA were expecting, gains in health knowledge led AYA to consider changes in health behaviours including accessing health services.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Life-Soweto presents an acceptable, feasible and relevant health literacy intervention for South African youth with potential to improve health literacy and health behaviours.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Patient and Public Involvement</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>To ensure the health literacy intervention was contextually relevant, age appropriate, and gender inclusive, a group of 40 adolescents (aged 18–24 years, male, female and non-binary) were recruited from Soweto to firstly identify the health topics that were most pressing in their daily lives.
