Background: Health literacy has become an important public health concern. However, a limited number of studies have investigated health literacy in Jiangsu Province of China. Methods: A total of 12,450 residents aged 15-69 years in Jiangsu Province were interviewed face-by-face through multi-stage cluster random sampling. The 2009 questionnaire of health literacy designed by the Ministry of Health of China was used to measure health literacy. The subjects were divided into low grade group (the comprehensive health literacy grade <34 points) and high grade group (the comprehensive health literacy grade ≥ 34 points). Multiple logistic regression was used for the analysis. Results: The knowledge rates about science concept of health, literacy of preventing acute infectious disease, literacy of preventing non-communicable chronic disease, safety and first aid, obtaining and making use of basic medical care, and comprehensive literacy knowledge were 60.02%, 66.80%, 51.85%, 66.84%, 55.27% and 52.46%, respectively. Multiple logistic regression showed that living in rural area, more numbers of household, increased age, less education, agricultural or rural migrant occupation workers, and lower family income were all risk factors for poor status of health literacy (all p values <0.01). Conclusion: The general health literacy level of the residents in Jiangsu Province was low. At least 40% of residents in Jiangsu Province were deficient in health literacy. Health education and promotion intervention may be targeted in this high risk population to improve health literacy.

Since 2004, the Chinese media scene has been dominated by what is called the “pan-reality television” trend. Reality television is capable of synchronizing the effects of all the political, economic, and cultural factors into the participants’ actions and becoming a powerful reconstruction of the social environment from which it emerges. The thesis takes Jiangsu Satellite TV (JSTV)’s golden hour reality televisions as the case to address the question of how they express, reflect and formulate the imaginations and understandings of urban living, focusing on the cultural, social, and political specificities of these reality television shows. The thesis is an attempt to bring into discussions ignored aspects of popular television culture that can be potential source for furthering the understanding of urban conditions in China. The thesis finds that the images, the discursive fields, and the procedures of the games in the reality television shows and the governmental regulations imposed on them are part of the mechanisms to dissemble a set of discourses into the colloquial, the practices of urban lives, and possibly the imaginations of urban lifestyles. Emerging out of this dynamic process is the formulation of a way of life in the context of urban China – specifically, the linear, individual progressivity. The main body of the thesis will empirically show how the linear, individual progressivity is installed and enacted in the shows and political implications of that.
