简要总结
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn if participants are better able to understand medical handouts written at below a sixth grade reading level compared to those written at above a sixth grade reading level. The main question it aims to answer is:
• Do participants score higher on a knowledge test after reading a handout written at below a sixth grade reading level compared to after reading a handout written at above a sixth grade reading level?
Researchers will compare knowledge scores on pelvic organ prolapse after participants read a handout written at an eight grade reading level compared to the same handout re-written to be at a fifth grade reading level.
Participants will:
- Read a one page handout (written at either above or below a sixth grade reading level) on pelvic organ prolapse
- Complete a one page multiple-choice test on pelvic organ prolapse
详细描述
The secondary objective is to determine characteristics of patients whose knowledge levels are higher after reading educational material written below a sixth grade reading level compared to material written above a sixth grade reading level.

结局指标
主要结局
Knowledge Assessment Score
时间窗: Assessed during completion of a 5 minute survey after reading a one page informational handout for approximately 10 minutes
Mean number of correct answers from 0 to 12 on the validated Prolapse Knowledge Questionnaire where 0 indicates 0 correct answers (worst knowledge score) and 12 indicates all correct answers (best knowledge score).
Participant-reported Handout Utility
时间窗: Assessed during completion of a 5 minute survey after reading a one page informational handout for approximately 10 minutes
Percentage of participants who respond "Yes" that reading the handout increased their understanding of pelvic organ prolapse on a Yes/No/Don't know scale.
