"I am working on a project to develop a low-lit English health promotion 
brochure in English on prostate cancer prevention, screening and 
treatment. 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."
