Abstract
The high number of health information that the web can provide together with the easy access and anonymity in the access encourages health researcher to try to understand the phenomenon. According to Norman & Skinner, 2006 health information on the web may have negative effect on individuals' health, for instance wrong and incomplete health information on the web can lead to false reassurance or on the contrary to discomfort as result from incorrect diagnosis. This issues is particularly serious for young people who access the web quite easily but who did not have yet the ability to correctly evaluate health information and their quality level. This study was aimed to validate in Italian the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS) developed by Norman e Skinner in 2006. The scale is made up of 10 items has been validated in several different languages and according to Karnoe, A., & Kayser, L., 2015 is widely used.
