A total of 59.9% of the students have sufficient DHL-most students find it rather easy to find information and are satisfied with the information they find on the internet. To capture DHL, four subscales of the DHL instrument were adapted to the pandemic context. Data were collected from a cross-sectional survey conducted at University College South during 4 weeks in April and May 2020. This research was carried out as part of the COVID-HL university student survey by using a uniform questionnaire consisting of elaborated scales. The aim of this study was to examine information-seeking behavior, the ability to find, understand and deal with health information among university college students in Denmark and/in addition we wanted to examine the impact of their close social network on students’ ability to find and understand health information. The COVID-19 pandemic and the concomitant infodemic have emphasized the importance of digital health literacy (DHL) to global public health research and practice.
