在西班牙裔美国人中报告的10,544例艾滋病病例中，几乎所有病例都与人类免疫缺陷病毒的性传播有关。因此，避孕套的使用在预防艾滋病方面发挥了核心作用。为了确定避孕套所提供的西班牙语说明的可读性，在洛杉矶购买了25个品牌的避孕套。在洛杉矶，只有一半的避孕套制造商提供西班牙语的说明。从13个市售品牌中识别出7种不同的西班牙语文本。可读性测试表明，这些文本构成的任何人的阅读技能低于九年级水平的理解困难。这些说明不足以服务于大多数西班牙裔社区，他们有限的阅读技能抑制了对高中水平材料的理解。这些结果表明，有必要修改艾滋病教育和预防材料，以提高西班牙裔社区的信息水平。
Almost haylof the 10,544 cases of AIDS reported among Hispanics are associated with sexual transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus. As a result, the use of condoms has assumed a central role in the prevention of AIDS. In order to determine the readability of Spanish instructions provided with condoms, twentyfive brands were purchased in Los Angeles. Only half of the manufacturers of condoms available in Los Angeles provided instructions in Spanish. Seven different Spanish texts were identified from the thirteen marketed brands. Readability tests indicate that these texts pose difficulties in comprehension for anyone whose reading skills are below the ninth grade level. These instructions inadequately serve the majority of the Hispanic community whose limited reading skills inhibit comprehension of high school level materials. These results suggest the need to modify AIDS education and prevention materials to increase the level of information available to the Hispanic community.
