State of the science of health literacy measures: Validity implications for minority populations

“…Moreover, the HL measures that used receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis to assess validity often used as the “gold standard” other HL measures that are not comprehensive and/or do not themselves have strong evidence of predictive validity. Fourteen measures did not report validity testing (beyond content validation) [36,37,39,43,56,60,82,92,98,101–103]. Overall, the trends in psychometric findings were similar between the general and content/context-specific HL measures.…”

Doctor-Patient Communication: A Shift to Problem-Oriented Research

“…Mclntosh, 1 9 7 4 Seligniann, et al, 1 9 5 7 Samora, et al, 1961 tants to negotiate and change rules may offer interesting rules-theoretic applications to doctorpatient research. Methodologically, whether interaction or outcome measures of communication are employed, the specific methods of research will be dictated by the theoretical constraints placed upon them.…”
