Objective:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the readability, content, and quality of patient education materials addressing preeclampsia.
Methods:
Websites of U.S. obstetrics and gynecology residency programs were searched for patient education materials. Readability, content, and quality were assessed. A one-sample t-test was used to evaluate mean readability level compared with the recommended 6th grade reading level.
Results:
Mean readability levels were higher using all indices (p < 0.001). Content was variable with good website understandability, but poor actionability.
Conclusions:
The mean readability was above the recommended 6th grade reading level. The content, readability, and actionability of preeclampsia patient education materials should be improved.
