This census method could also be adapted to account for language and literacy barriers by altering the mode of delivery to interview participation.
When we conducted the sensitivity analysis with missing values for income assumed to be below $15,000 and missing values for health literacy assumed to be the mode, there were no changes in results for self-efficacy, self care, or diabetes distress.
Physical models are desirable in engineering education as they enhance visual literacy, provide insight into critical design failure modes and design attributes, and can be implemented in a classroom scenario in concert with multimedia displays and lecture slides.
Most, if not all, modes of communication require some literacy skills: texting, looking up a name in a mobile phone to make a call, using Google Maps to find out where you're going.
