The First Look report released on December 15th will not contain the health
literacy data.  Health literacy data will be included in the full report,
which will not be released until later this Spring.  So we'll have to wait!

Subject: [HealthLiteracy] NAAL data

 

The NAAL data is going to be released!  See  announcement below.  

 

I was wondering if there is anyone on the list that could help bring me and
others up to speed on what we might learn about health literacy from these
data?

The U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES) in the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) invites you to view the
live webcast of the release of the first national findings on adult literacy
since 1992.  Results from the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy
(NAAL) will be released on December 15 at 9:30 a.m. EST. At that time, NCES
will release two initial reports on NAAL: A First Look at the Literacy of
America's Adults in the 21st Century presents key results-including changes
in adult literacy since 1992 and performance by gender, race/ethnicity, age,
language spoken before starting school, educational attainment, and
employment status. A companion report, Key Concepts and Features of the 2003
National Assessment of Adult Literacy, describes the assessment's key
features and major data types.

 

These reports will be available online at http://nces.ed.gov/naal
<http://nces.ed.gov/naal>  beginning
at 9:30 a.m. EST.

 

An online live chat moderated by NCES Associate Commissioner Peggy Carr will
