Overall, the low-literacy OPC is comprehensive, valid, readable, and formatted according to established low-literacy guidelines.
A 4-step process was used to develop and validate the low-literacy OPC, including: (1) content identification; (2) attention to low-literacy guidelines; (3) evaluation based on Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) criteria; and (4) pilot testing with patients (n = 18) to assess comprehension.
For those SAM items on which researchers did not agree, a meeting was held with a third researcher who is an expert in health literacy and guidelines for interpretation of SAM criteria were refined (see eText 3 in the Supplement).
For breast cancer, 69.2% of those with both LEP and low health literacy met screening guidelines, while the other three groups had over 88% screening rates (figure 1).
For CRC screening, only 39% of those with both LEP and low health literacy met screening guidelines, compared to 61% of those with neither LEP nor low health literacy.
It can mean "optional", but in the National Primary Strategy, a set of "guidelines" on teaching literacy and numeracy, it means "obligatory"—unless a school wants to risk being deemed "satisfactory".Gifted and talented refer to the top 5-10% in academic and non-academic pursuits respectively, who are to be encouraged in their gifts and talents.
The first was to examine the relationship between low health literacy and meeting the US Preventive Service Task Force USPSTFF) guidelines for cervical, colorectal and breast cancer screening among Chinese Americans in California.
Although almost 40percentt of the population has lower literacy skills, few websites follow the guidelines for writing for low-literacy users.
Further studies assessing the impact of existing training and guidelines on the care, health literacy and onward referral of patients would be very valuable.
In early 2015, the Association of College and Research Libraries released the Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education and this new set of guidelines significantly impacts how academic libraries and librarians approach library instruction.
