The study examined associations between health literacy and reproductive health knowledge and behaviour among women of reproductive age in Vienna, Austria. The findings showed a statistically significant association between inadequate health literacy and lower levels of reproductive health knowledge and behaviour, indicating that women with higher health literacy tend to have better knowledge and behaviour concerning reproductive health. In addition, better reproductive health knowledge and behaviour were associated with older age. Religious affiliation emerged as a significant factor related to reproductive health knowledge and behaviour, while university education was identified as the strongest predictor of health literacy.
