Table 3. Correlation of Numeracy and Health Literacy Measures with Education by Race/Ethnicity in the PRIDE Study.

Test/Screen All Participants Non-Hispanic White Non-Hispanic Black Hispanic
SNS 0.22a 0.44a 0.37b 0.21c
DNT-5 0.43a 0.41a 0.28c 0.35b
BHLS 0.45a 0.48a 0.41a 0.37a
S-TOFHLA 0.57a 0.37a 0.42a 0.57a

Note. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated by comparing scores for each measure with highest education level attained. 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.
