The methods discussed were designed for a qualitative study that investigated how patients of a health clinic in New York evaluate print-based consumer health information about diabetes. Evaluating information has become a major aspect of health literacy in recent years. The National Institutes of Health, the National Library of Medicine, and the Medical Library Association, for example, each disseminate guidelines to help individuals judge the quality of health information found online. An important critique of these prescriptive methods is that the criteria used fail to account for how individuals evaluate information in everyday life (Metzger, 2007). Factors like cognitive authority and personal beliefs, for instance, which have been found to impact how individuals assess information, do not figure into the checklist approach (ibid.). Several studies exist that model how people evaluate different types of information found online, including health information (Eysenbach and Kohler, 2002; Fox and Rainie, 2002; Hilligoss and Rieh, 2008; Yong, Stvilia, and Mon, 2012). Because most of these studies use convenience samples of students or academic faculty, and because they mostly focus on information resources available online, they are also limited. To address these gaps, an exploratory study was conducted at a community-based health clinic with individuals who have low literacy skills.
