Readability of patient information on diabetes on the Croatian Web sites

Many studies on readability have shown that patient information is frequently written at the reading level too high for the average population to understand. The aim of this study was to determine the reading level of patient information on diabetes found on the Croatian Web sites and written in Croatian language. Patient information on diabetes from 10 Croatian Web sites was tested for readability using SMOG formula. The reading levels of the tested materials ranged from 11 to 15, which showed that these materials would not be understood by at least 80% of the Croatian adult population.
