The current study aims at understanding health literacy (HL) among persons at risk of developing familial breast-ovarian cancer (FBOC) from a bottom-up perspective—incorporating their viewpoints into the research process. Its qualitative design integrates an ethnographic-narrative approach and findings from 10 narrative interviews with women who have undergone genetic testing, analysed by using reflexive grounded theory. The collected data reveal the entanglement of the women’s perceptions concerning the risk of getting ill, their identity, and their strategies of managing health. The analysis of this interplay provides an empirical basis for approaching HL in its communicative dimension, considering individuals’ understandings of health and illness, and emphasizing the role of critical HL.\r\n                "}],"type":"journal_article","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.4081/qrmh.2021.9647","open_access":"1"}],"intvolume":"         5","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2023-03-20T14:38:01Z","year":"2021","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/","publication_status":"published","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by_nc.png","short":"CC BY-NC (4.0)"},"user_id":"245590","citation":{"bibtex":"@article{Lorke_Harzheim_Rhiem_Woopen_Jünger_2021, title={The ticking time-bomb.
