| Summary: | The aim of this study is to use the experience of two Latvian schools to outline the potential of school-parent collaboration in promoting parental health literacy by answering the following questions: 1) How is the concept of health literacy understood by parents, teachers, and school administration? 2) What factors limit or hinder school-parent collaboration in promoting health literacy? 3) What are the recommendations of the actors involved to improve school-parent collaboration in promoting parental health literacy? This study adopts a qualitative case study approach and explores two cases of schools in Latvia.
