Abstract
Although considerable research exist on the readability of patient education materials, few studies have focused on the efficacy of information drug leaflets used for psychopharmacology education of patients with limited reading skills. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the suitability of United States Pharmacopoeia Dispensary Information (USP-DI) drug leaflets (N = 42) for educating urban in-patients at a psychiatric unit using measurement criteria of the Suitability Assessment for Materials (SAM) instrument. The findings showed the USP-DI information drug leaflets were unsuitable as an educational tool for psychiatric in-patients with poor reading ability.
