Table 2 Usability test

From: Development of a decision guide to support the elderly in decision making about location of care: an iterative, user-centered design

Caregivers (answer categories “0-not at all”, “1-somewhat”, “2-fairly”, “3-very much”)

 • Is the language in the decision aid understandable?

 • Are you satisfied with the length of the decision aid (8 pages)?

 • Is the presentation of the decision aid right for its target group and purpose (lay-out, size, font size, use of pictures)?

 • Does the decision aid provide you with enough information? (if not, please indicate what information is missing in “ open comments”)

 • Is it clear how the decision aid should be used (the steps to take)?

 • Do you think the decision aid would be helpful for seniors and their caregivers who are facing a decision about location of care?

 • I found the presentation: Slanted towards staying at home/Balanced/Slanted towards moving elsewhere (this question was added later on).

 • Other comments (open)

Elderly
