A 2026 systematic review by Jingyi Li et al. analyzed 28 studies (n=13,100) up to Aug 14, 2025, assessing how eHealth literacy (eHL) supports type 2 diabetes prevention among at-risk groups. It found eHL enabled prevention mainly via knowledge, behavioral regulation, and social influences, yielding high engagement, ≥5% weight loss and improved glycemic markers. Authors highlight gaps in critical eHL, media literacy, and emotional/autonomy supports.
Key Points
- 1Identifies eHL pathways: knowledge (28/28), behavioral regulation (16/28), social influences (15/28).
- 2Highlights imbalance: studies overemphasize knowledge, neglect critical eHL and media literacy entirely.
- 3Recommends testing emotional, autonomy, and information-discernment supports to improve long-term adherence.
Scoring Rationale
Systematic, peer-reviewed synthesis provides actionable mechanism mapping, but is limited by heterogeneity across studies preventing meta-analysis.
