Methods Participants N 1 405 enrolled in the Carolina Oral Health Literacy COHL study completed the short form of the Oral Health Impact Profile Index OHIP-14 a measure of OHRQoL and REALD-30 a word recognition literacy test . Socio-demographic and self-reported dental attendance data were collected via structured interviews. Severity cumulative OHIP-14 score and extent of impact number of items reported fairly very often scores were calculated as measures of OHRQoL. OHL was assessed by the cumulative REALD-30 score. The association of OHL with OHRQoL was examined using descriptive and visual methods and was quantified using Spearman s rho and zero-inflated negative binomial modeling. Results The study group included a substantial number of African Americans AA 41 and American Indians AI 20 . The sample majority had a high school education or less and a mean age of 26.6 years. One-third of the participants reported at least one oral health impact. The OHIP-14 mean severity and extent scores were 10.6 95 confidence limits CL 10.0 11.2 and 1.35 95 CL 1.21 1.50 respectively. OHL scores were distributed normally with mean standard deviation SD REALD-30 of 15.8 5.3 . OHL was weakly associated with OHRQoL prevalence rho -0.14 95 CL -0.20 -0.08 extent rho -0.14 95 CL -0.19 -0.09 severity rho -0.10 95 CL -0.16 -0.05 . Low OHL defined as 13 REALD-30 score was associated with .
