Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn if participants are better able to understand medical handouts written at below a sixth grade reading level compared to those written at above a sixth grade reading level. The main question it aims to answer is: • Do participants score higher on a knowledge test after reading a handout written at below a sixth grade reading level compared to after reading a handout written at above a sixth grade reading level? Researchers will compare knowledge scores on pelvic organ prolapse after participants read a handout written at an eight grade reading level compared to the same handout re-written to be at a fifth grade reading level. Participants will: * Read a one page handout (written at either above or below a sixth grade reading level) on pelvic organ prolapse * Complete a one page multiple-choice test on pelvic organ prolapse

Investigators

The overall officials registered on this study. Names that resolve to a findmyKOL profile link to it; the rest are shown as registered.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Sites

1 registered facility, with the per-site recruitment status where the registry publishes one. ClinicalTrials.gov does not publish per-site enrollment counts.

United States
  • University of North Carolina Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery at Rex

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
