A Readability Assessment of Online Stroke Information
Background: Patients and carers increasingly access the Internet as a source of health information. Poor health literacy is extremely common and frequently limits patient's comprehension of health care information literature. We aimed to assess the readability of online consumer-orientated stroke information using 2 validated readability measures.Methods: The 100 highest Google ranked consumer-oriented stroke Web pages were assessed for reading difficulty using the Flesch–Kincaid and Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG) formulae.Results: None of the included Web pages complied with the current readability guidelines whe...

President's Page: An Urgent Call to Action: Graduate Medical Education Funding and the Future of Health Care
Cardiovascular medicine is experiencing a confluence of events that pose a significant threat to the future health of the nation. By 2030, it is predicted that more than 40% of adult Americans will have some form of cardiovascular disease. In addition, current projections indicate a 25% increase in the prevalence of both heart failure and stroke over the next 20 years—a result of an aging U.S. population . To make matters more complicated, an additional 30 million Americans will be seeking healthcare services beginning as early as next year as a result of the Affordable Care Act .
