Eligible participants were 18 years or older, currently or recently (&lt;60 days) receiving chemotherapy, and Norwegian speaking. Data were collected using the eHLQ and supplementary questions on sociodemographic characteristics and patient portal use. Mean scale scores were calculated for the seven eHLQ scales. Analyses were performed in SPSS using general linear models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 248 patients with cancer were recruited. Mean eHealth literacy (EHL) scores assessed by using eHLQ, ranged from 2.72 to 3.14 across the seven scales (standard deviation [SD], 0.42-0.62). The highest score was observed for scale 4\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">feel safe and in control<\/jats:italic>\n                      (mean 3.14, SD, 0.45). Increasing age showed the strongest association with lower EHL. No statistically significant gender differences were observed, and associations of low education and income with lower EHL were attenuated after adjustment for age.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our data indicate that EHL among patients with cancer does not differ substantially from what has been found in other populations in previous studies.
