While I have not directly used the Newest Vital Sign, I did interview Dr. 
Barry Weiss about it for an On Call article. Here are the links,

Subject: [HealthLiteracy 2451] Health Literacy evaluation tool


Hello all

Has anyone on the list used the Newest Vital Sign as a testing tool? I am
interested in knowing the experiences of others with this tool or other
tools you would suggest for evaluating health literacy. I am working with a
nurse who has chosen this topic for her project and she will be interviewing
patients who come to an out patient educational session prior to their hip
or knee replacement surgery.



Thanks for your help
