Brief summary
This project will address vital questions regarding how best to design web-based materials for the growing population of patients with basic literacy and computer skills but lower levels of health literacy, building on our previous experience of developing web-based materials for people with lower levels of literacy and health literacy. This study will be carried out two phases. Phase 1 will use qualitative methods to understand user experiences of the web-based materials through observational 'think-aloud' interviews with users. Phase 2 will test the newly developed web-based materials to a static (non-interactive) version of the materials online.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| user engagement | This will be measured by intervention completion rates |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Patient enablement | Participants will be followed up as soon as they finished looking at the website, which is expected to be 20-40 minutes after they start the study. |
| Website satisfaction | Participants will be followed up as soon as they finished looking at the website, which is expected to be 20-40 minutes after they start the study. |
| Physical activity attitudes and intentions | Participants will be followed up as soon as they finished looking at the website, which is expected to be 20-40 minutes after they start the study. |
| Diabetes and Physical activity knowledge | Participants will be followed up as soon as they finished looking at the website, which is expected to be 20-40 minutes after they start the study. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Single item: whether you would recommend the website to others | Participants will be followed up as soon as they finished looking at the website, which is expected to be 20-40 minutes after they start the study. |
