This study was designed to determine if primary care clinic patients read at a level congruent to the reading grade level of available smoking literature. Reading estimates of smoking education literature (N = 49) ranged from grade 3 to college level (median = 9.5). Reading skills of 258 smoking patients were estimated by reported years of schooling (median = 10), and by scores on the Wide-Range Achievement Test (median = 6). A serious disparity existed between the reading estimates of smoking education literature and the literacy skills of patients in our sample.
本研究旨在确定初级保健诊所的患者阅读水平是否与现有吸烟文献的阅读年级水平相符。对49份吸烟教育文献的阅读难度估计范围为三年级到大学水平(中位数 = 9.5)。通过报告的受教育年限(中位数 = 10)和广泛成就测试的分数(中位数 = 6)来估计258名吸烟患者的阅读能力。在我们的样本中,吸烟教育文献的阅读难度估计与患者的识字技能之间存在严重差距。
