摘要：

The extent to which patients use and learn from drug literature written at three different readability levels was examined. A two-way analysis of variance showed an interaction effect on knowledge score between the readability level of the leaflet and the amount of schooling subjects reported: persons with higher education learned most from the hardest pamphlet and persons with the least formal education learned the most from the easiest pamphlet. A similar interaction was found in testing the likelihood that patients had read the leaflet. The results suggest that persons with little formal education would benefit from teaching materials with a readability level considerably lower than even many ''easy-to-read'' health-teaching materials available today.
