@AmiZjediQueen https://t.co/ngmYFFwZFZ Good luck!
@laurahazardowen From some of my own work, materials on public health should be accessible and easily understandable This paper finds most official communication exceeds recommended reading levels (typically should be 8th grade level) https://t.co/7IrA
Readability is a real issue.
“Among all 18 websites evaluated, information about COVID-19 uniformly exceeded the recommended reading level of grades 6 through 8”

TLDR: Many of the websites had a reading level above 8th grade. Concerning. When accessing accurate information is difficult to read and understand it creates a possible foothold for more easily understood misinformation to establish itself. https://t.co

The average American, for example, reads at an 8th grade level—that’s about 13-14 years old—but the study showed that literature made available about #Covid19 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention assumed an 11th grade reading level. https://
