The increasing use of the Internet for gathering information regarding preventative health measures creates a unique dilemma. Access to the Internet is almost universal in the USA. Web sites presenting health information regarding breast cancer must create information that is understandable to the general public, meaning a reading level of around seventh grade. Text was obtained from the National Cancer Institute's Web site, and an examination of the text's grade level was performed. The text was written at between a 10th and 12th grade level. This indicates that information regarding breast cancer prevention obtained from the National Cancer Institute's web site is written at far too high of a level.
互联网在收集预防性健康措施信息方面的使用日益增加，这带来了一个独特的难题。在美国，互联网接入几乎普及。提供有关乳腺癌健康信息的网站必须创建普通公众能够理解的信息，这意味着阅读水平大约在七年级左右。文本取自美国国家癌症研究所的网站，并对文本的年级水平进行了检查。该文本的写作水平在十年级到十二年级之间。这表明从美国国家癌症研究所网站获取的有关乳腺癌预防的信息所针对的阅读水平过高。
