We are currently in the formative research stages and are bringing together some focus groups of target audience (African American men age 40 and + and general population age 50 up). We were looking at two prominent tools, the REALM and the short TOFHLA to help us screen participant recruitment for men with 4th-6th grade lit levels. In the context presented above would one tool be more appropriate to use (in conjunction with our screening guide) than the other? Would love to have peoples thoughts."
