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.
