Health Literacy

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services.

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Digital Health Equity

Background:

  • Usability testing is vital for website development, especially when target users differ from developers.
  • Designing for underserved populations, such as Hispanic individuals with lower health and computer literacy, requires adapted evaluation strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a multifaceted usability evaluation of the "Healthy Texas" website.
  • To identify necessary modifications in usability testing for a Hispanic audience with limited digital literacy.

Main Methods:

  • Heuristic evaluation by a usability engineer.
  • Remote end-user testing via WebEx.
  • Face-to-face testing in a community center setting.

Main Results:

  • Standard usability testing required modifications: interpreters, flexible time, trusted intermediaries (e.g., librarians), and accommodating family members.
  • Participants recommended simplifying language, using relevant graphics and examples, and improving navigation for the website.

Conclusions:

  • User-centered design and appropriate usability testing are critical when developers and users are not representative.
  • Failure to adapt testing methods can limit website use and value, particularly for underserved groups.
  • Identified improvements benefit all users but are essential for reaching specific, underserved audiences.
