I. Introduction (5 Minutes)

Introduction of Moderator and Notetaker

Welcome, and thank you for coming today. My name is [moderator’s first name] and this is [notetaker’s first name]. We are from Kleimann Communication Group, an independent consulting firm in Washington, DC. Before we get started, I want you to know that I will be reading from a script. We are talking with a number of people today and we want to say the same thing in the same way to everyone.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0990-XXXX. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 90 minutes per response, including the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed and complete and review the information collection. If you have comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to:  U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, OS/OCIO/PRA, 200 Independence Ave., S.W., Suite 537-H, Washington D.C. 20201,   Attention: PRA Reports Clearance Officer.



I will be leading today’s session and [notetaker’s first name] will be taking notes to help us remember what you say and how you interact with the materials. We will also be audio/video taping the session. We can take a break whenever you need to, just let me know. The entire session will take about an hour and a half. Okay?

Privacy

I just want to confirm that you have read and signed the consent form?

Moderator’s Note

If participant says “Yes,” continue. If participant says “No,” have participant sign the forms.



To remind you, all of the information we collect here today is private to the extent permitted by law. For example, we do not have your name on the questionnaire, so your answers will not be identified as yours. In addition, we will not use your name, address, image, or any other identifying information in any reports or papers based on this research.

II. About the Session and Establishing Context (5 minutes)

If you don’t have any questions right now, I will begin with a few contextual questions. Sound good?

  1. Do you use any online services that involve your personal information, such as online banking, bill paying, tax e-filing, or personal health record?

  2. [If yes, ask] Do you ever read the company’s privacy information online to understand its privacy practices? [If no, ask “Why not?”]

  3. What do you think privacy policies tell you? [Probe: Are a company’s privacy policies important to you? Why? Why not?]

  4. [If participant didn’t mention PHRs in question 1.] Have you ever heard of or used an electronic Personal Health Record, often called a P-H-R for short? If so, can you describe PHRs to me? [If not, ask them to take a guess as to what they think a Personal Health Record is.]

Thank you. For the remainder of the session, we will be focusing on facts about personal health records, the information contained in them, and how PHR vendors manage that personal information as they provide consumers with the PHR service.

Moderator’s Note

Some participants who are unfamiliar with PHRs may be selected to read a few additional paragraphs of contextual information about PHRs before proceeding.

If participant is selected to read the contextual material, please follow the procedure below before conducting the Think-Aloud. If participant is not selected, please skip to Section III: Think-Aloud Introduction.



[If participant is selected] I am going to show you some generic information about personal health records. Please look it over and I will have some questions for you when you are ready.



Moderator’s Note

Hand participant the card with the information below (or updated equivalent) and give them time to read and process it.

A Personal Health Record (PHR) is an online record containing an individual’s personal health information. PHRs typically include information such as health history, vaccinations, allergies, test results, and prescription information. The information in the PHR can be drawn from multiple sources while being managed, shared, and controlled by the individual.”


a. Based on this, can you tell me in your own words what a Personal Health Record is? [Probe: What additional information do you want to know? What is confusing? What could be improved? Why?]

b. What additional comment or questions do you have about a PHR?

III. Think-Aloud Introduction (5 minutes)

In a moment, I am going to show you information from a fictitious company that discusses personal health records and facts about using and protecting your personal information online. As you read and think about the information, I will ask you to talk out loud so I can hear what you are thinking about, reacting to, questioning, confused by, liking, and disliking. As you move between sections, please tell me what you are seeing and reading. Please also let me know whether you are reading, skimming, scrolling through, or skipping a particular section altogether. I want you to share your ideas, questions, suggestions, and any confusion that you might have about any part the document.

I know this might seem unusual, especially if you are normally a quiet person, but it’s really important for us to hear what you are thinking about and reacting to as you read through the information — including what you see, what you are doing, what makes sense, and what doesn’t. So, if you are quiet, I will ask you questions to get you talking again. Sound good?

Please remember, we are not testing your knowledge or reading comprehension! We are testing the document and its information to get a better sense of what information works and doesn’t work, what is understandable and what isn’t. Okay? Do you have any questions?

To practice this technique of thinking aloud, I am first going to give you a menu from a restaurant. I want you to talk out loud about the menu as you decide what you would like to eat.



Moderator’s Note

Give participant the menu and allow the participant several minutes to try out the protocol. Get participant comfortable with talking about what they are looking at, reading, voicing questions, confusion, and decisions. Ask them what they are reading, where they are looking, and when they can make a decision. Sample questions:

  • What do you think of the cover? [Design question]

  • Where are you looking in the menu? [Navigation question]

  • Does anything catch your eye? What? [Emphasis question]

  • What do you think that this symbol means? [Symbol question]

  • How is this menu organized? [Organization question]

  • Would you eat here? Why? [Impression question]

  • What would you order? Why? How? [Task question]

Please look at the menu and tell me what you are thinking, reading, and doing every step of the way. To get you started, what is the first thing you notice?

Great! You understand what the next part of the session will be like and what I need you to talk about as you look at the information. You answered the questions I asked you in exactly the right way. You noticed design elements, talked about how you were moving around in the document, mentioned what caught your eye, explained what content made sense to you versus what was confusing, and talked about organization. You will do a lot of talking out loud and I will ask some questions. And when you are finished talking, then I will ask you some additional questions that are similar to these. Do you have any questions before we get started?

Moderator’s Note

Answer any questions participant might have.



IV. Think-Aloud [15 minutes]

Moderator’s Note

The purpose of this task is to observe and record how test participants react, including what they look at, the sequence that they look at the information, and how they use, overlook, interpret, and misinterpret the information they see.



In a moment, I am going to show you information from a fictitious company that discusses personal health records and policies about using and protecting your personal information online. I would like you to imagine that you have been considering a PHR and are reviewing the websites of several PHR companies. Now you are reviewing how each company manages PHR information if you sign up for their service. This is a printout/website of one of the company’s policies.

As soon as you look at the materials, please start talking aloud. As you first begin to look at the information, I want you to tell me what you are specifically looking at on any page or section, how you are navigating through and reading the document, and what you are thinking about as you are reading. Remember to tell me what you like or don’t like about what you see, what you are confused by and why, and anything else that you are reacting to or questioning. If you are quiet, I will remind you to talk aloud.

Ready? Any questions?



Moderator’s Note

Prompt whenever the participant seems to move to other sections (i.e. “and now you’re looking at the _____ section.”). Ask him/her what he/she is looking at. Remind participant to tell us what he/she is thinking, what he/she likes and dislikes, and what he/she understands and what he/she does not understand.

Great! Thank you for working with that.

V. General Impression Questions (15 minutes)

Now, I want to follow up with a few questions, and please remember there are no right or wrong answers. Also, feel free to look back at the information at any time. This isn’t a memory quiz! Okay?

General Reactions

[Moderator: Please note that participants will cover many topics as he or she does the think-aloud and then answers Question 1. Please review Probe questions and follow-up on those probes the participants does not initially relay.]

  1. What is your overall reaction to the information? [Probe as needed:

    1. What questions come up?

  3. What do you see as the benefits? Why?

  4. If you were directed to this information when researching or signing up for a PHR, would you read it? Why? Why not? [Probe: Would you skim it? Where would you stop reading? Why? Do you think it’s important for the vendor to provide with this information?]

  5. [If the person has reported early in the session that he or she has read online privacy and security information before now.] How does this information compare to other data use and security information you’ve read?

  6. Is there particular information you were looking for or wanted to specifically know as you began to read? What information? [Probe: Were you able to find this information? Where was your attention focused? Why?]

  7. Would the information provided be useful to make an informed decision about PHRs? Would you focus on any particular information to make a decision? Which information and what decisions? Why?

[Moderator: Place laminated sheet with the Clear/Confusing scale in front of participant.]

  1. On a scale of 1 to 7, with “1” being very clear and “7” being very confusing, how do you rate the information? Why?

VI. Specifics (20 minutes)

Content and Navigation

[Moderator: point participant to the paragraph above the table on the At-A-Glance page.]

  1. [Refer participant to introductory sentences/page.] Would you describe this section as a “snapshot” or “at-a-glance”? [Probe: Does it actually give you enough of a snapshot for a quick review? Does it all make sense to you? Why? Are there any topics not in this section that you think should be included? Are there any topics that you think do not need to be included in this section? Do you think an at-a-glance box is helpful in understanding the rest of the information?]

  2. From this first section, what other sections do you want to go to for more information? Why? [Probe: Are there any sections you don’t want or need to explore further? Why? Does the opening section provide enough information on those topics? How?]

  3. From the introductory section, is it clear what you have to do to get additional information on any of these topic areas? Why or why not? Please explain.

Moderator’s Note

Hand participant slips of paper labeled with the different topics of the introductory section.

Now that you are familiar with this information, I am going to ask you some questions about ordering. Please order these topics in the way that makes the most sense to you.

  1. Please tell me about your order? Why that order?

[Moderator: If it seems appropriate, remind participants again that this is not a test of their memory, rather we are trying to get better sense of what information is and is not understandable.]

  1. What types of personal information do you store in your PHR?

  2. Do you give permission for others to access and/or view your personal information in your PHR? [Probe: Can anyone access your PHR? Do you give permission for anyone other than yourself to access your PHR? Why? Why not?]

  3. How does the vendor use your personal information in your PHR? [Probe: Are there different ways a vendor uses your personal information? Which ways? Please explain.]

  4. Do you tell the vendor how to use or not use your personal information? If so, how do you go about doing that? [Probe: Do you give the vendor permission to use your information?]

  7. What else would you want or need to know about how your information is used? [Probe: What specific questions do you have about these uses? [Once they offer other questions, ask] Why?

  8. Does the vendor protect and secure your personal information in specific ways? How? [Probe: What methods do they use to secure and protect your information? Is this important information for you to know about? Why?]

[Moderator: Probe on any mention of HIPAA with a goal of listening for what the participant understands about HIPAA (rather than simply recognizing the letters HIPAA) and how they relate HIPAA and PHR information. Additionally, explore what they assume about specific laws comprehensively protecting their personal information.]

  1. How do you close your PHR? [Probe: Is it clear how the vendor handles your personal information after you close your PHR? Why or why not?]

  2. Are there any particular features in any of the tables that make them easier or harder to understand?

  3. Does the information in the table columns make sense together? Do all of the column headings make sense to you?

  4. Do the introductory sentences help explain the purpose of the tables?

  5. Are there any words or terms that don’t make sense? Which ones? Why? [Probe: What would you suggest using as an alternative? Are there any words that don’t have definition links that should? Are there any words not included in the terminology section that should be?]

  6. If you were tasked with naming this packet of information, what would you call it? Why?

[Moderator: remind participants that the information may be online to get them thinking about the following information.]

  1. Where would you expect to find this information on a company’s home page? What should the link to be called? Why? [Probe: Would the location of the link to this information on the PHR page make a difference to you? Why or why not?]



Break (5 minutes)

VIII. Comparison (15 minutes)

Moderator’s Note

Have participant review a second version.



Now I’d like you to look at a second version from another fictitious PHR vendor. I’m going to give you a few minutes to review it so you get a sense of what it’s telling you, and I want you to talk out loud just like you did with the first one even though we won’t take the same amount of time. When you’re done, I’ll ask you some more questions. Okay?



Moderator’s Note

Give participant a few minutes to familiarize him/herself with the other version. Remind him/to talk aloud if needed.

  1. What is your overall reaction to this second document? Why?

  2. What are the differences between the two? [Probe: Are the differences clear? Can you compare them easily? Why? Why not?]

    Moderator’s Note

    Focus the participant the section about the vendor types.

  3. What type of vendor sponsors each of these PHRs?

  4. Can you tell the difference between the vendor types for each of these? How can you tell the difference? [Probe: Do the vendor explanations clearly explain the differences between types? Do the explanations about access, use, and closing a PHR help distinguish between vendor types? Does knowing the different types matter to you? Why or why not?]

  5. Is there anything else you want to know and understand about the different vendor types in order to more clearly understand the differences between them and be able to make an informed decision about which one to use? [Probe: Does it make a difference to you to know that a vendor is a healthcare provider versus a healthcare insurer versus your employer versus a technology company? Why? Why not?]

  6. Between these two, which one would you choose? Why? [Probe: What aspect of this information guides you to make that decision?]



IX. Wrap-up (5 minutes)

  1. Do the vendors provide you with enough information to inform your decision about choosing them as your Personal Health Record vendor? Why? Why not? [Probe: What else would you want to know from them? Why?]

[Moderator: Place laminated sheet with Likely/Unlikely scale in front of participant.]

  1. On a scale of 1 to 7, with “1” being very likely and “7” being very unlikely, what is the likelihood you would read information such as this before signing up for a Personal Health Record? Why? Why not? [Probe: Are you more or less likely to read a company’s policy information presented this way compared to others you may have read?]

  2. Okay, that wraps up my questions. Do you have any additional thoughts or questions for us?



Thank you for your time and all the comments you have given us.

We want to remind you that we do not work for or endorse any PHR company. If you are interested in learning more about PHRs on your own, you may do so by investigating the individual PHR vendors.

We appreciate your help! You can pick up your payment at the desk out front [or wherever the testing facility designates].
