dc.description.abstract	This thesis critically examines readability assessment in the context of developing, revising and evaluating written health information. Using a mixed methods approach, this project aims to strengthen the evidence base regarding the effect of readability on cognitive outcomes. It will also identify a prioritised list of research questions to determine the role of readability assessment in health literate document design.	en
