Cognitive Deficits Related to Internet Use Clinical Trial
Official title:
Schizophrenia Website Usability
This study will determine the usability of a website for people with schizophrenia versus other websites designed for the same purpose.
The objective of this study is to test and compare the usability of a website developed as
part of a NIMH-funded project (see IRB #0208128), versus four other online websites in a
effort to continue to improve website design elements and maximize usability by those
identified with schizophrenia, a disease that produces cognitive impairments.
Prior usability testing done to evaluate a website developed as part of a NIMH-funded
project (see IRB #0208128) was used to develop a website designed specifically to meet the
needs of those with cognitive deficits. Generally, the website was well received. However,
an implicit component of this project was to make quantitative statements comparing the
website developed in this project to other existing websites for individuals with
schizophrenia, in order to maintain and improve the usability of the website. As such, it is
important to test the usability of this website versus other websites to continue to improve
design elements and ease of use for those with serious mental illness.
