我们评估了高胆固醇血症或高血压的非裔美国人（n=339）在参加营养教育项目之前的功能性读写能力。首先根据标准化阅读成绩测试分数的相关性，开发了一个使用20个常见心血管或营养术语的单词发音和识别测试，然后对项目参与者进行了管理。近一半（48%）的人的单词识别分数相当于≤8年级的阅读水平。较低的得分与教育程度较低、收入较低、失业、就业时工作活动较多、饮食不健康、有心脏病或糖尿病史、抑郁得分较高相关（均P<0.01）；这些协会中有几个是独立于教育的。教材是针对五年级到八年级的阅读水平设计的。然而，当同时提供录音和印刷教学时，阅读成绩≤8年级的个体优先使用磁带。这种简短且相对不引人注目的读写能力评估可能有助于确定哪些人可以从心血管营养教育的视听方法中获益最多。
We assessed functional literacy of hypercholesterolemic or hypertensive African Americans (n=339) prior to their participation in a nutrition education program. A word pronunciation and recognition test using 20 common cardiovascular or nutrition terms was first developed based on correlations with standardized reading achievement test scores, then administered to program participants. Nearly half (48%) had word recognition scores equivalent to a ≤8th grade reading level. Lower scores were associated with less education, lower income, unemployment, heavier work activity if employed, less healthy diets, history of heart disease or diabetes, and higher depression scores (all P<0.01); several of these associations were independent of education. The educational materials were geared to a 5th to 8th grade reading level. However, when both audiotaped and printed instruction were provided, individuals with reading scores ≤8th grade preferentially used the tapes. This brief and relatively unobtrusive literacy assessment may help to identify persons who can benefit most from audiovisual approaches to cardiovascular nutrition education.
