TL;DRAbstract
Final year undergraduate students taking an elective course in human-computer interaction were invited to undertake a one-hour independently-worked exercise wherein they sought information on a self-selected health issue. Each student was offered one major Australasian website (HealthInsite or everybody.co.nz) and one major non-Australasian website (MedlinePlus, the Health On Net [HON] foundation, or the Mayo Clinic) to try. Students provided specific feedback on the two websites they tried as well as general feedback on desirable features of health websites. 44 of 143 students (31%) submitted questionnaires and agreed to their use in research. Students were significantly more likely to respond that they were able to find relevant information using HON and MedlinePlus as compared to the other sites (odds ratio [OR] 5.74, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.21-25.16) and more likely to respond that they found enough information with HON or MedlinePlus (OR 6.26, 95 % CI 2.10-18.70).
