The design of the research is descriptive and correlational. The population of the research consisted of adolescents enrolled in a total of 6 state-affiliated high schools in a city centre. It was attempted to reach the entire population without using the sampling method in the study, and a total of 1470 adolescents were reached. The mean score of the E-health Literacy Scale of the adolescents was 27.67±7.61, and the mean score of the Critical Literacy Scale for the Internet was 91.74±22.23. It was found that the e-health literacy of adolescents was affected by gender, family type, economic status, and father's educational status.
