Adult inpatients in state-supported (public) and private substance misuse treatment settings were tested for reading ability. Patient education materials and consent forms were assessed for readability levels. Public patients' mean reading levels were significantly lower than those of private patients, and were 4 to 5 years below the level needed to read and understand standard treatment materials. More than half of the public and almost one-third of the private patients tested were reading below a 9th grade level. Standard treatment materials were written on 11th to 12th grade reading levels; admission and consent forms were written on 12th to 18th grade levels. Patients in substance misuse settings should be tested for literacy levels upon admission and provided with materials commensurate with their reading ability.
对州立（公立）和私立药物滥用治疗机构中的成年住院患者进行了阅读能力测试。对患者教育材料和同意书的可读性水平进行了评估。公立患者的平均阅读水平显著低于私立患者，比阅读和理解标准治疗材料所需水平低4至5年。接受测试的公立患者中超过一半以及私立患者中近三分之一的阅读水平低于9年级。标准治疗材料的编写水平为11至12年级；入院和同意书的编写水平为12至18年级。药物滥用治疗机构的患者入院时应进行识字水平测试，并提供与其阅读能力相称的材料。
