It is estimated that adolescents comprise one-sixth of the world\u2019s population.<\/jats:p><jats:p>This study examined whether eHealth literacy was predicted via health promotion activities and preventive health practices among Turkish adolescents. This cross-sectional study was conducted between March and May 2022 with 706 adolescents in \u00c7orum, Turkey. A face-to-face questionnaire form was used, including socio-demographic characteristics, preventive health practices, eHealth literacy scale and Adolescent Health Promotion Scale. The data of the research were analyzed with the SPSS 22.0 program. Percentage, mean, Pearson Correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were used in the analyzes. The p\u2005&amp;lt;\u20050.05 value was considered statistically significant in the evaluations.<\/jats:p><jats:p>In the study, 55.8% were female, and the mean age of the whole group was 16.09\u2005\u00b1\u20052.63 years. The mean score on the eHealth literacy scale was 29.40\u2005\u00b1\u20056.29. The mean of the total scores obtained from the Adolescent Health Promotion Scale was 137.97\u2005\u00b1\u200521.87. There was a significant positive correlation between eHealth literacy and the Adolescent Health Promotion Scale (p\u2005&amp;lt;\u20050.001). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to predict eHealth literacy using the variables of Adolescent Health Promotion and preventive health practices. eHealth literacy positively and significantly predicts health promotion activities (\u03b2\u2005=\u20050.27, t (695)\u2005=\u20057.54, p\u2005&amp;lt;\u20050.001). eHealth literacy increased annual weight measurement by more than 0.13 (\u03b2\u2005=\u20050.13), annual blood iron measurement by more than 0.16 (\u03b2\u2005=\u20050.16) and annual dental examination by more than 0.11 (\u03b2\u2005=\u20050.11).<\/jats:p><jats:p>Developing eHealth literacy interventions will be necessary for environments with a high concentration of adolescents (schools and courses).
