本研究评估了为“万国生命之息”戒烟计划（针对美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民）开发的教育材料的科学准确性、可读性和其他素养因素以及文化适宜性。作者聘请了代表流行病学、医学和心理学的戒烟专家科学审查小组；材料适用性评估 (SAM) 和简化的官样文章测量 (SMOG) 阅读等级水平公式；并由本地计划协调员和试点参与者进行审查。材料在科学上是准确的并且在文化上是适当的。平均 SAM 分数为 80%（优秀评级），使用 Fry 公式（SAM 的一部分）的平均阅读等级水平为 7.1，使用 SMOG 公式的平均阅读等级为 8.4（差异无统计学意义）。基于该项目，SAM 可以在形成性研究期间与科学审查和社区成员的意见相结合，以评估和修改针对目标人群的教育材料。
This study assesses educational materials developed for the All Nations Breath of Life smoking cessation program (targeted for American Indians and Alaska Natives) for scientific accuracy, readability and other literacy factors, and cultural appropriateness. The authors used a scientific review panel of experts in smoking cessation representing epidemiology, medicine, and psychology; the suitability assessment of materials (SAM) and the simplified measure of gobbledygook (SMOG) reading grade level formulas; and review by Native program facilitators and pilot participants. Materials were scientifically accurate and culturally appropriate. The mean SAM score was 80% (superior rating), and the average reading grade level was 7.1 using the Fry formula (part of the SAM) and 8.4 using the SMOG formula (difference was not statistically significant). Based on this project, the SAM can be used in combination with scientific review and input from community members during formative research to assess and modify educational materials for a targeted population.
