In Thailand most existing studies focus on adults’ health literacy rather than children. This research aimed to determine the influence of sociocultural and health knowledge on health literacy among children ages 9 to 10 years in Thailand MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,650 children aged 9 to 10 years. The respondents were recruited by using multistage random sampling from 39 primary schools of 13 provinces in all 4 regions of Thailand. A self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect the required data. The multi-level analysis was used to determine the association between sociocultural, health knowledge and health literacy while controlling the effects of co-variates. The result was presented as adjusted odd ratios and its 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: Of the total 1,650 respondents, 86.24% (95%CI: 84.49%-87.82%) had adequate and excellent levels of health literacy. The multivariable analysis indicated factors that were significantly associated with adequate and excellent levels health literacy including; adequacy of per diem (adj. OR= 6.78; 95%CI: 3.54-12.97), and had good relationship with teachers (adj.OR= 2.19; 95%CI: 1.55-3.09). Sources of health education which were; received health education from parents (adj.OR= 3.51; 95%CI: 2.39-5.14), from teachers (adj.OR= 2.03; 95%CI: 1.43-2.89) and from internet (adj.OR= 1.83; 95%CI: 1.12-2.99) were also significantly associated with health literacy. Another significant factor was had good level of health knowledge (adj.OR= 1.86; 95%CI: 1.30-2.66) when control clustering effect of region, provinces, school and classroom size.
