Using the Health Literacy Universal Precautions Toolkit to improve the quality of patient materials.
The researchers conducted interviews to learn about practices’ implementation activities and assessed the readability, understandability, and actionability of patient education materials collected during pre- and postimplementation site visits. They found that many of the revised and newly developed documents had reading levels appropriate for most patients and better readability than the original materials.
