本研究旨在系统地识别和评估目前可供公众使用的家族史工具的可读性和文件复杂性。我们采取了三个步骤来确定用于评估的家族史工具：1)互联网搜索，2)专家咨询，3)文献搜索。使用简单测量官样书（SMOG）可读性公式评估确定的工具的可读性。使用PMOSE/IKIRSCH文件可读性公式评估文件（即收集家族史信息的表格）的复杂性。总共确定了78种工具，其中47种符合纳入标准。基于多媒体的工具的烟雾阅读等级水平在10.1至18.3之间，平均得分为13.6。对于基于打印的工具，烟雾从8.7到14.1不等，平均得分为12.0。文档复杂性的范围从非常低的复杂性（1级熟练程度）到高的复杂性（4级熟练程度）。大多数工具的阅读水平超过了美国八年级的平均阅读水平。缺乏易于阅读或使用的家族史工具可能会影响其在普通人群中识别慢性疾病风险增加个体的潜在有效性。
This study aimed to systematically identify and evaluate the readability and document complexity of currently available family history tools for the general public. Three steps were undertaken to identify family history tools for evaluation: 1) Internet searches, 2) expert consultation, and 3) literature searches. Tools identified were assessed for readability using the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG) readability formula. The complexity of documents (i.e., forms collecting family history information) was assessed using the PMOSE/IKIRSCH document readability formula. A total of 78 tools were identified, 47 of which met the criteria for inclusion. SMOG reading grade levels for multimedia-based tools ranged from 10.1 to 18.3, with an average score of 13.6. For print-based tools, SMOG ranged from 8.7 to 14.1, with an average score of 12.0. Document complexity ranged from very low complexity (level 1 proficiency) to high complexity (level 4 proficiency). The majority of tools are written at a reading grade level that is beyond the 8th grade average reading level in the United States. The lack of family history tools that are easy to read or use may compromise their potential effectiveness in identifying individuals at increased risk for chronic diseases in the general population.
