Abstract
We investigated the relationship between health literacy, comprehension of sexually transmitted infection information, and sexual behavior in 127 women aged 16-21 years attending a reproductive health clinic. Women with lower health literacy scores demonstrated lower comprehension of written information related to sexually transmitted infections but did not have greater high-risk sexual behaviors.
