Abstract
Objective: Inadequate health literacy has been shown to have a negative impact on health outcomes, decrease patient satisfaction, and increase the financial burden on the health care system. The American Medical Association and National Institutes of Health have recommended that health information be published at a sixth-grade reading level, because the average adult in the United States reads at an eighth- to ninth-grade level. With more than 62% of patients now accessing health care data online, websites have become a primary source of health information. This study aims to determine the readability of online patient content about hysterectomy.
