The study explored health literacy from adolescents' perspectives in Ethiopia, and contributed to understanding of the issue. It identified notable gaps in adolescent health literacy and provided insights into the enabling and hindering factors. This study laid the ground for developing a health literacy tool sensitive to the Ethiopian sociocultural context and for broader studies to enhance understanding and to develop effective interventions to improve and promote health literacy among adolescents and within the broad society
