[Note: Instrument appears in the document above. The instrument was called Genetics Literacy Concept Inventory (GLCI) in the thesis and is called Genetics Literacy Assessment Instrument (GLAI) in most places in the BioScience paper, and always GLAI in the Genetics paper. Items appearing in Bowling, Acra, et al. 2008, match those in Moskalik 2007.]
