Methods Using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method, 6,762 permanent residents aged 15-69 years from 28 national-level poverty-stricken cities and counties in Heilongjiang Province in August-December 2020 were selected as the subjects, and a questionnaire survey on health literacy was conducted. Results In 2020, the health literacy level of the residents in poverty-stricken areas of Heilongjiang Province was 14.33%. The levels of basic health knowledge and concept, healthy lifestyle and behavior and basic health skills were 25.37%, 14.72% and 15.95%, respectively. The levels of scientific health concept, infectious disease prevention and treatment, chronic disease prevention and treatment, safety and first aid, basic medical treatment and health information were 37.02%, 19.26%, 17.79%, 39.45%, 20.72% and 23.86%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, education level and average annual family income were the factors influencing health literacy level of the residents in poverty-stricken areas. Conclusion The health literacy among the residents in poverty-stricken areas of Heilongjiang Province is at a relatively low level.
