Communicating Forest Management Science and Practices through Visualized and Animated Media Approaches to Community Presentations
Natural-resource managers have used a variety of computer-mediated presentation methods to communicate management practices to diverse publics. We explored the effects of visualizing and animating predictions from mathematical models in computerized presentations explaining forest succession (forest growth and change through time), fire behavior, and management options. In an experimental design using purposive samples, rural-mountain, town, and …
Descriptions of Web Sites in Search Listings
The American public increasingly uses the Internet to obtain health information.1–5 Researchers have scrutinized the quality of health Web sites,6–10 but relatively few have studied the Web portals that deliver sites to users.11,12 Health consumers must rely on brief site listings generated by portal searches when deciding which Web site to access.

We appreciate Melnick’s kind letter regarding our study of Web site listings in response to common health queries, and we appreciate as well the opportunity it affords to elaborate on some of the significant problems and opportunities afforded by the Internet. Recent surveys indicate that between 40% and 80% of adult American Internet users access health information on the Internet.1,2 The Internet has already influenced the provider–patient rela…
Integrating Usability Testing into the Development of a 5 a Day Nutrition Website for At-risk Populations in the American Southwest
The following article documents an iterative, user-oriented process to develop a nutrition education website for a rural multicultural population. Study participants were purposefully recruited from a six-county region in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico representing the range of ethnic backgrounds, demographics and computer experience of the site's target audience. Three studies are presented. Study one, using a card-sorting process pro…
Formative Research Activities To Provide Web-Based Nutrition Education to Adults in the Upper Rio Grande Valley
The Internet is a promising new tool for disseminating cancer prevention information. Barriers to full implementation include disparities in access and skill and availability of information relevant at the local level. A nutrition education Web site to promote fruit and vegetable intake is being produced for a tri-ethnic adult population in Colorado and New Mexico. Development is guided by findings from formative research including focus groups w…
