Construct Validity of Numeracy and Health Literacy Measures by Race/Ethnicity in the PRIDE Study

Method of Assessment	All Participants	Non-Hispanic White	Non-Hispanic Black	Hispanic
Monotrait-Heteromethod

Trait: Numeracy
Subjective: SNS	0.37^a	0.48^a	0.41^a	0.38^a
Objective: DNT-5

Trait: Health literacy
Subjective: BHLS	0.42^a	0.49^a	0.43^a	0.13^c
Objective: S-TOFHLA

Monomethod-Heterotrait

Method: Subjective
Numeracy: SNS	0.25^a	0.39^a	0.15^c	0.09^c
Health literacy: BHLS

Method: Objective
Numeracy: DNT-5	0.59^a	0.50^a	0.25^b	0.56^a
Health literacy: S-TOFHLA

Note. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated by comparing scores for specified measures. BHLS = Brief Health Literacy Screen; DNT-5 = Diabetes Numeracy Test; PRIDE = Partnering to Improve Diabetes Education; SNS = Subjective Numeracy Scale; S-TOFHLA = Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults.
