Reference range number line format preferred by adults for display of asthma control status.

CONCLUSIONS: The RRNL format may have broad appeal and can be adapted to numerous clinical variables for low health literacy patient-facing displays, as in patient portals. However, until viewers are familiar with the format, use as a communication tool in the context of a clinical visit is recommended to forestall undue alarm over abnormal/out-of-range values.
