5 HC/HIT Topic Area & Objectives ■Goal: Use health communication strategies and health information technology (IT) to improve population health outcomes and health care quality, and to achieve health equity. ■HC/HIT 8: Increase the proportion of quality, health- related websites – HC/HIT 8.1: Increase the proportion of health- related websites that meet three or more evaluation criteria for disclosing information that can be used to assess information reliability – HC/HIT 8.2: Increase the proportion of health- related websites that follow established usability principles

6 Development of National Quality Website Survey ■HC/HIT 8.1: Assess information reliability – Website Information Evaluation Instrument – 6 Criteria and Reliability Requirements:  Identity, Purpose, Content Development, Privacy, User Feedback, Content Updating

7 Development of National Quality Website Survey ■HC/HIT 8.2: Usability principles – Website Usability Evaluation Instrument – 3 criteria composed of 19 usability principles and 59 usability measurements  Site Design, Information Architecture, Content Design

8 Development of National Quality Website Survey ■Sample question (Site design) – 6. Ensure site is accessible for users with disabilities and uses elements of 508 compliance  Is ALT text provided for links, images, video, and animation (this text should pop up when a user hovers the mouse over the element in question)?  Is captioning provided for video and animation?  Is such captioning easy to read (in terms of size and contrast)?

9 Health Literacy Online ■First Edition (2010) – Written for web designers, web content specialists, and other PH communication professionals  Deliver online health information that is actionable and engaging  Create a health website that’s easy to use  Evaluate and improve health websites with user- centered design

11 Health Literacy Online ■Second Edition (October 2015) – Focus on broadening access to user-friendly health information and services on the web – Recommendations reflect literature related to the cognitive processing and online behavior of adults with limited literacy skills

12 Health Literacy Online – Responsible digital design and development:  Prioritizes the information needs and preferences of consumers  Involves end-users as co-creators of web products  Responsive design for different screen sizes  Recognizes that designing for limited literacy users is designing for all users

13 User-Centered Design and Prevention Tools ■Focus on users throughout the design process ■“Design Thinking” – Understanding what people want and need in their lives – Create ideas that better meet consumers’ needs and desires ■Participatory Design/ “Co-Design” – Involving intended users throughout entire development process
