Which formal instrument is NOT used in health care settings to estimate academic skills?

  1. Wide Range Achievement Test, Level IV

  2. Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine

  3. Broad Variation Attainment Test, Level I

  4. Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults

The correct answer is: Broad Variation Attainment Test, Level I

The Broad Variation Attainment Test, Level I, is not a recognized instrument commonly used in healthcare settings to estimate academic skills. The other options—Wide Range Achievement Test, Level IV; Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine; and Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults—are established tools specifically designed to assess literacy and educational skills relevant to health care. The Wide Range Achievement Test, Level IV measures basic academic skills, including reading and mathematics, making it valuable for both educational settings and health assessments where literacy may impact patient understanding. The Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine screens for literacy proficiency in a healthcare context, focusing on the ability to understand health-related information. The Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults assesses the comprehension and application of health-related materials, correlating patients' literacy levels with their health outcomes. In contrast, the Broad Variation Attainment Test, Level I does not have a recognized presence in health care literacy assessments, indicating it is not tailored for the essential evaluation of academic skills in this setting.
