NCT00038337

Brief Summary

The objective of this two parallel component study is to develop interventions for the visual and cognitive related health literacy disabilities of older veterans. The first component will test two interventions for improving functional health literacy performance (enhancing the design of health literacy materials and training reading skills) by using a 2 x 2 between subjects factorial design. The second component consists of patient, family, and provider focus groups who will help determine where to apply and disseminate the interventions by identifying problematic sources of text-based health materials. Finally, as a result of both components improved health information design guidelines and training protocols will be developed as rehabilitative interventions for health literacy disability.
