I was reading an article today as part of a journal club I'm in (I lead an exciting summer life), and I came across something that was new and interesting to me. The authors of this study used colored blocks as a visual aid to support Likert items in a survey with lower literate audiences. I'm going to track down some more details on how this worked, but this was a little different than other strategies I've seen for lower literate audiences, and something I suspect I'm going to use in the future. The article is:
Bernal, H., Woolley, S., Schensul, J. J., & Dickinson, J. K. (2000). Correlates of Self-Efficacy in Diabetes Self-Care Among Hispanic Adults With Diabetes. The Diabetes Educator, 26(4), 673-680.
The study itself was interesting, of course, but that particular methodological detail just struck me for some reason.
