2. Method
Sexual health leaflets were collected in 2013 from a number of
city based health centers, family planning clinics and from the
largest sexual health organizations in the UK. Inclusion criteria
stated leaflets had to be paper based, free of charge, written in
English, contain a minimum of 30 full sentences and focus on
sexual health only. In organizations that published multiple
leaflets a maximum of 8 were randomly selected. 37 leaflets
met the inclusion criteria from 12 different organizations.
To assess readability the SMOG and FRY test was applied to each
leaflet. To assess suitability of materials the SAM test was applied
