CBSSM faculty and staff's numeracy and literacy study featured in Modern Healthcare

Brian Zikmund-Fisher, Nicole Exe, and Holly Witteman’s study “Numeracy and Literacy Independently Predict Patients’ Ability to Identify Out-of-Range Test Results” in the Journal of Medical Internet Research was featured in Modern Healthcare and other media outlets. The articles discuss patients' understanding and informed decision making when they have direct access to lab reports and test results. In the Wall Street Journal, Dr. Zikmund-Fisher was quoted, "If we don't make it clear to patients what these numbers mean, we can't expect them to know what to do."
