Insights into organizational health literacy in Italian hospitals: findings from the M-POHL network project.

Hospitals are recognized as settings for health promotion, serving as a process that empowers individuals to gain greater control over and improve their health. Health-literate organizations play a crucial role in health promotion by creating supportive environments that ensure equitable access to health information and services, empowering individuals to engage with, understand, evaluate, and apply health information through diverse communication channels and social resources. The International Self-Assessment Tool for Organizational Health Literacy of Hospitals (OHL-Hos) was used for the first time in Italy to evaluate the implementation of OHL principles in two local hospitals and one academic hospital.

Coffee and tea intake and survival of cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
