Could users have a different (better) way to
find information?

21. Improving the Communication of Health
Information Needs
Correlation:
Learnt New Knowledge <> Easy to Tell the
System What Is Needed
“In another one (baseline) I need to look for
topics. This one (BHX) showed me topics. So
it’s better.”
22. Improving the Communication of Health
Information Needs
Keyword search is the most common way to
input the health information needs;
Good for focused search, but NOT for
exploratory search;
Need to have new methods for passing health
information needs.
23. More Diverse Information
“By giving you choices rather than just
coming up with the top things, I think it
makes (the system) more interesting to use.”
Correlated with Engagement and Usefulness.
25. Introducing Serendipity
“Giving me different options that I did not
consider.”
“I never thought about this and then (it
showed up). Ah! This is good.”
Correlated with Learning New Knowledge.
