本研究评估一所大学健康中心公共网站的可读性与适宜性。可读性公式估计理解健康信息所需的阅读等级和年龄。材料适用性评估（SAM）工具确定了网页对目标受众的充分性。可读性显示了阅读等级水平，代表了能够处理材料的最年轻的读者，范围从10.1到14.6，平均12.5（在美国教育系统中是12年级的中间阶段）。完全理解需要更高的教育水平，直到研究生。一些网页的适宜性得分表明，在可读性、学习动机和健康行为改变指导方面存在不足。网站上的内容可能会让一些基于阅读年级水平的学生难以理解，但总体适宜性结果是令人满意的。所有网页更新都应牢记这些参数，以确保内容对大学生、教师和工作人员完全可访问。
This study evaluated the readability and suitability of a university health center public website. Readability formulas estimated the reading grade and age required for comprehension of health information. The Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) instrument determined adequacy of the webpages for the intended audience. Readability showed the reading grade level, representing the youngest reader able to process the material, ranged from 10.1 to 14.6, averaging 12.5 (midway through 12th grade in the US educational system). Full comprehension required higher education levels, up to postgraduate. Suitability scores for some webpages indicated deficiencies in readability, motivation to learn, and instructions for healthy behavior changes. Content on the website may be difficult for some students to comprehend based on the reading grade level, but overall suitability results are satisfactory. All webpage updates should bear these parameters in mind to ensure content is fully accessible to college students, faculty, and staff.
