Determinants of Primary Care Health Professionals' Numeracy Skills and Practices and Association With Patient Health Literacy and Quality of Care
An observational study of Health Literacy and Numeracy, run by MSPU de Pins-Justaret.
Trial summary
To enable appropriate risk representation for patients, health care professionals (HCPs) must have a personal understanding of quantitative data. To date, a limited number of studies on physicians' numeracy skills and practices show that, although physicians perform better than the general population, not all… Read more about this study

About this study
To enable appropriate risk representation for patients, health care professionals (HCPs) must have a personal understanding of quantitative data. To date, a limited number of studies on physicians' numeracy skills and practices show that, although physicians perform better than the general population, not all physicians have mastered basic numeracy skills. Low numeracy among physicians was associated with lower quality adherence to good practice recommendations, inaccurate inferences about test results and side effect risks, and reluctance to share numerical information with patients. The primary objective will be to explore the determinants of the objective numeracy level of primary care professionals. A cross-sectional survey will be conducted on a sample of primary care professionals practicing in the west of Occitanie (former Midi-Pyrenées region). Objective numeracy will be measured using the Adaptive Berlin Numeracy Test (ABNT) and the Abbreviated Numeracy Scale, whereas subjective numeracy will be assessed using the Subjective Numeracy Scale (SNS-3). The Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) will be used for patients.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Health Literacy and Numeracy, run by MSPU de Pins-Justaret.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Objective numeracy (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jan 2026.
