The test readers assessed the extent to which the informational texts met their needs and demands, and how useful and understandable they were. The comprehensibility, the structure and the type of presentation were also part of the assessment [19]. Typically a package of four health information products composed by the IQWiG were assessed per focus group (Table 1) [9,25]. The IQWiG provided test versions of their informational products; the edited final versions are available on their website [16].
Many readers had difficulty to understand or interpret the numerical content of the cited studies in the informational products and the presented descriptions of risks or ratios. Is 1 out of 50 children a little or a lot? (NT08089) Some asked for more details or background, even pointing out misunderstandings in the ratios. Some could not deal with much numerical information. Nevertheless, the numerical data were largely seen as helpful. Readers were confused by a parallel presentation of numbers in absolute terms and percentages, and wanted the text authors to decide on one form.
Difficulties occurred especially when the information compared several divergent studies and their correspondingly complex results. A very detailed presentation was sometimes found to be a hindrance and the test readers suggested using graphs or tables for a better understanding.
Many test readers had difficulties drawing conclusions for action from inconclusive data or unclear statements. In several cases they desired clear recommendations for action, or decision aids, particularly in texts on various therapy options. As a patient I ask myself what can I actually do myself now? (T132: NT08081).
