The Readability Study: A Randomised Trial of Health Information Written at Different Grade Reading Levels.

J Gen Intern Med

December 2024

Sydney School of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine and Health, Sydney Health Literacy Lab, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, 2006, Australia.

Background: Despite increasing attention on health literacy and the inclusion of grade reading level recommendations in guidelines, it remains unclear if lowering the grade reading level of written health information to specific target grades improves patient-related outcomes.

Objective: To assess whether grade reading level of written information affects knowledge, perceived reading ease, acceptability and trustworthiness of information and, to explore whether information written at a lower grade reading level reduces disparities in outcomes across health literacy levels.

Design: We conducted a 4-arm online randomized trial with a community sample of adults living in Australia from 31 July to 20 September 2023.
