Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Digital Health Literacy Instrument 2.0 scores | At time of enrollment, single point in time. | Digital health literacy Instrument (DHLI) 2.0 has 24 self-report items. People score how difficult they perceive certain tasks to be and how often they experience certain problems on the Internet. Each item was scored on a 4-point scale, with response options ranging from very easy to very difficult and from never to often. Scores are reversed, so that a higher score represented a higher level of digital health literacy. |
| Number of right answers on digital health visualization questionnaire. | At time of enrollment, single point in time. | This is a questionnaire with items assessing health visualization literacy. People are shown 20 visualizations with information about their disease and answer a question to test if they understood the information in the visualization. The scores consist of number of right answers, so a higher score represent better digital health visualization. |
