Objetivo: mapear os programas de letramento em saúde voltados para adolescentes no contexto escolar. Métodos: revisão de escopo realizada conforme as diretrizes do JBI. Foram incluídos estudos com texto completo, sem restrição de data ou língua. A triagem e seleção foram realizadas por duas pesquisadoras independentes na ferramenta Catchii Systematic Review Screener. Os dados foram extraídos através de instrumento elaborado pelas autoras e apresentados de forma descritiva. Resultados: a busca identificou 177 estudos, 13 foram removidos por duplicidade. Na triagem, 88 estudos foram excluídos. Após a leitura completa, 41 foram excluídos, resultando em uma amostra final de 35 estudos. A maioria das pesquisas foi realizada na Europa (n=11) e na América do Norte (n=7). A idade dos participantes variou de 10 a 19 anos, com maior foco na faixa de 12-15 anos. A dimensão de Letramento em Saúde mais avaliada foi o Letramento em Saúde Mental (n=19). O Letramento em Saúde geral foi foco de seis programas e o midiático em três. Conclusão: observou-se predomínio de programas de saúde mental; dimensões gerais do letramento devem ser incluídas no currículo, com adoção da cocriação. Contribuições para a prática: a síntese apresentada pode subsidiar a criação de programas escolares liderados por enfermeiros.
