One area where health applications can enhance health literacy is Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). Therefore, this study aims to investigate research related to health literacy promotion systems in STDs through an altmetric method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>MATERIALS AND METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This altmetric study, conducted in 2024, examines all scientific outputs related to health literacy systems for sexually transmitted diseases indexed in Scopus from 1992 to 2023. The Altmetric Explorer was utilized to gather altmetric scores and indicators. The data were analyzed in Excel to create tables and charts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A search in Scopus yielded 177 articles on health literacy systems for STDs from 1992 to 2023. Only 133 (75.14%) of them were mentioned in online social media and had altmetric scores. The majority of these studies originated from the United States and the United Kingdom, published in reputable medical journals, including NEJM. The high number of citations to these articles does not mean a higher Altmetric score.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results showed that few studies have been published on the application of health literacy systems in STDs. It is suggested that future research should focus on increasing the presence of health literacy studies on STDs in social media and altmetric platforms. The presence of these studies on social media can help increase their visibility and improve society\u2019s health literacy in STDs.<\/jats:p>\n
