Table 2 Examples of questions asked by interviewer of usability participants
From: Cultural adaptation of a shared decision making tool with Aboriginal women: a qualitative study
Background Statement (interviewer speaking to participant): ‘This is your decision scenario – so I am asking you to pretend to be preparing to go in to see your care provider, a counsellor, social worker, doctor/nurse, to make a decision about a return to school’. | |
The participant talks through how she would use the OPDG to prepare for her meeting with a care provider, and answers some brief questions at the end of the role-play on her views towards using the OPDG. | |
Question | Prompts |
1. Was the OPDG easy to use? | Did it make sense the way it was organized? Was it clear? |
2. Would you try it out again/for making a real decision? | Why or why not? What was it like to use it? What could make it better? |
3. Do you think that this could help you to make a decision that you think is good? | Clarify the choice options? Figure out the benefits and harms? The chances that the benefits or harms might happen? |
4. Do you have any ideas on what might help you to be more involved in decisions and choose what you think are better options? | |
