CONTEXT
We evaluated the validity of the Newest Vital Sign (NVS) as a brief screen for health literacy in children.
OBJECTIVES
To (a) test the hypothesis that child performance on the NVS correlates with performance on a test of child reading comprehension and (b) establish age-based cutoffs for expected performance on the NVS.
DESIGN
Children aged 7 to 17 years were administered the NVS followed by the Gray Silent Reading Test (GSRT).
RESULTS
The NVS score correlated strongly with GSRT score (ρ = 0.71, P < .0001) and increased with age. Children aged 7 to 9 years had a median NVS score of 1 (interquartile range = 1-2); children aged 10 to 17 years had a median score of 3 (interquartile range = 2-4), P < .0001.
CONCLUSION
The NVS performs well in this population. Children aged 10 to 17 years with an NVS score lower than 2 may have low health literacy.
背景
我们评估了最新生命体征（NVS）作为儿童健康素养简短筛查工具的有效性。
目的
（a）检验NVS儿童表现与儿童阅读理解测试表现相关的假设，以及（b）确定基于年龄的NVS预期表现临界值。
设计
对7至17岁儿童进行NVS测试，随后进行格雷无声阅读测试（GSRT）。
结果
NVS分数与GSRT分数密切相关（ρ = 0.71，P <.0001），且随年龄增长而增加。7至9岁儿童的NVS中位数分数为1（四分位间距 = 1 - 2）；10至17岁儿童的中位数分数为3（四分位间距 = 2 - 4），P <.0001。
结论
NVS在该人群中表现良好。NVS分数低于2的10至17岁儿童可能健康素养较低。
