Total time = total time for the test in minutes; Time on test = (Total time – Interrupted time)

For REALM-R, only have inadequate and adequate health literacy

Data are reported as mean (median) unless otherwise noted

S-TOFHLA = Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults; REALM-R = Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine-Revised; NVS = Newest Vital Sign
