Abstract

The social objective of universities propels them to implement health literacy strategies for their members and the society. This educational objective became indispensable during the COVID-19 pandemic; when in a precipitous pace, universities had the need and the opportunity of transferring medical information, promoting prevention practices and counseling on health issues. The research objective is to assess the health literacy levels among students, teachers and administrative personnel from a public university in Mexico; specifically, regarding the relevance, sufficiency and quality of the information on COVID-19 that the same university socialized among the educational community through official social networks during phases 1 and 2 of pandemic alert.A random sample of 442participants answered a simplified and adapted version of the HLS-EU-Q16 questionnaire in Spanish. The results indicated that only 20% of the populations of the three groups analyzed had sufficient literacy in COVID-19 and the most popular social network among these groups was YouTube.
