Dexter, Emily R.; LeVine, Sarah E.; Velasco, Patricia M.
Comparative Education Review, v42 n2 p139-62 May 1998
A study of 78 women in Tilzapotla, a small Mexican town with an unusually strong commitment to education, examined decontextualized language and literacy skills related to oral and reading comprehension of health information and to speaking skills during a health interview. Length of schooling was related to most skills, but all measured skills varied widely. (SV)
