Cronbach's α for the FHLT was 0.72 and 0.68 for the general public and rheumatic patients, respectively, suggesting adequate reliability. Convergent validity was demonstrated with a strong correlation between scores on the FHLT and REALM (0.65 [p < 0.01] for the general public, 0.68 [p < 0.01] for rheumatic patients). Divergent validity was shown by the weak correlation between the FHLT score and education level (0.33 [p < 0.01] for the general public, 0.28 [p < 0.01] for rheumatic patients). Test-retest reliability of the FHLT among rheumatic patients (n = 112, response rate = 56%) was shown to be high (ICC = 0.95). ICC was not calculated for the test-retest reliability among the general public because of a poor response rate of 9%. Conclusions: The 21-item FHLT has been shown to be a reliable and valid screening test for measuring functional health literacy levels of the general public as well as patients in healthcare settings. The availability of the FHLT would contribute to the effectiveness of health education programs and better health-related outcomes in the general population.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:38:48 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7472 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:38:47 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5182 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:47:49 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5337 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:45:55 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5336 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:45:55 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3582 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:19:48 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23573 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:12:46 AEDT ]]>
