Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Patient satisfaction with the respective information material is the primary endpoint of the study. This parameter is assessed immediately after reading the comic or leaflet. The assessment is carried out using an evaluation questionnaire developed specifically for this study, in which satisfaction is rated on a five-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary endpoints include preference for one of the two information materials (comic versus leaflet), perceived comprehensibility, usefulness/relevance, trustworthiness and aesthetics/reading enjoyment, as well as knowledge gain, reading time, willingness to recommend and decision certainty. The materials are evaluated immediately after reading using study-specific questionnaires with five-point Likert scales. Knowledge gain is measured using a multiple-choice knowledge quiz after each reading phase, and reading time is measured in seconds. Preference, willingness to recommend (Net Promoter Score, 0–10) and decision certainty are assessed once at the end of the study participation.
