OBJECTIVES
In this pilot study, we developed and assessed acceptability of a brochure for women with dense breasts.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
We measured Flesch-Kincaid Readability of 22 existing breast density educational materials. We then developed a brochure and tested it in two populations of women: 44 safety net hospital patients and 13 Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium stakeholders.
RESULTS
Average grade score of existing materials was 10.0 (range: 5.5-12.7). Our brochure had a grade score of 5.9, and patients reported it was easy to understand.
CONCLUSION
Our plain language brochure could improve patient understanding following mandatory dense breast notification.
目的
在这项初步研究中，我们为乳房致密的女性开发并评估了一本小册子的可接受性。
材料与方法
我们测量了 22 种现有乳腺密度教育材料的 Flesch-Kincaid 可读性。然后，我们开发了一本小册子，并在两个女性群体中进行了测试：44 名安全网医院患者和 13 名乳腺癌监测联盟利益相关者。
结果
现有材料的平均年级得分为 10.0（范围：5.5-12.7）。我们的小册子得分为 5.9，患者报告说很容易理解。
结论
我们的简明语言小册子可以在强制性致密乳腺通知后提高患者的理解。
