Abstract

A comparative study has been made of the readability of informed consent form of the Navarra Health Service, using the Flesh and SMOG formulas. Signed editorial articles from the local newspapers Diario de Navarra and Diario de Noticias were used as a term of comparison. The results show that the readability of informed consent form is -4 (with a second paragraph of -9), while the editorial articles showed a comprehensibility of 22. The text of the second paragraph of the informed consent form is barely comprehensible, and alternative texts that are more easily comprehensible must be studied.
