In this article, the development of the concept and measurement of "off-line" health literacy is charted, recent development and interest in adolescent off-line health literacy is explored, and how the Internet could be useful in assessing and improving adolescents' online and off-line health literacy skills is consid-ered. The important issue of content filters will also be consid-ered as it relates to adolescents' ability to retrieve online health information about sensitive issues.
