Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES
Compare medical data interpretation skills in participants of low or high socioeconomic status who receive a general education primer entitled Know Your Chances Understanding Health Statistics vs a health education booklet entitled The Pocket Guide to Good Heath for Adults

Arm II primer Participants receive a general education primer entitled Know your chances Understanding health statistics which teaches how to understand disease risk and the benefits and risks of intervention
Within 2 weeks after receiving the education material participants in both arms complete a survey including a medical data interpretation test STAT-interest STAT-confidence and user ratings of the education materials
