  3. Purpose • The Vaccine Quiz is a web-based application designed for the general public. • The Quiz helps adults and adolescents determine which vaccines they need. • The intent is to provide general immunization guidelines and information.

  4. Rationale • Adults often do not know what vaccines they need and may not remember which vaccines they have had. • Their immunization records may be unavailable, either lost or difficult to locate. • Busy healthcare providers often do not take the time to discuss immunizations during the office visit.

  5. Taking the Quiz • Consists of 15 questions about age, lifestyle, and medical conditions. • Takes less than 5 minutes to complete. • Provides a list of vaccines that may be appropriate. • Encourages users to discuss the suggested vaccines with their healthcare provider.

  6. Advantages • Easily accessible from the Internet • User-friendly format • Quick • Immediate feedback provided • Confidentiality assured • Patient – Provider communication encouraged • Links to more vaccine information provided

  7. FormativeEvaluation • Pilot tested Quiz with 4 reviewers having varying levels of computer expertise and professional training. • Observed reviewers navigate through the Quiz. • Asked reviewers to talk out loud about what they were thinking and what decisions they were making. • Convened a group of 7 adolescents to critique the Quiz.

  8. Observations • Reviewers were overwhelmed with the amount of information in the Quiz. • Reviewers got lost, were unsure where they should go, and did not know how to find their way back. • Reviewers were unclear about what actions to take.

  9. Feedback • The reviewers identified • Unclear terms • Confusing feedback • Navigation problems • Ways to improve the design and general appeal of the Quiz

  10. Re-Design • Streamlined the Quiz. • Re-formatted the content to provide only the most essential information. • Created discrete action steps. • Corrected navigation problems so the Quiz was easier to follow.

  11. Provider Page Evaluation Two physician groups* reviewed the provider page and recommended changes. *Solicited comments from physicians through CDC’s Cooperative Agreements with the American College of Physicians and the American Academy of Family Physicians.

  12. Provider Page Re-Design • Clarified purpose of the form. • Reduced the amount of information. • Correlated the recommended vaccines with the patient’s answers. • Provided a check-off sheet so providers could mark which vaccines were recommended during the visit. • Briefly summarized adult and adolescent vaccine recommendations.
