It has been cogently argued that Web-based interventions hold substantial promise to deliver effective cessation to a wide audience. However, the potential effectiveness of a site is constrained by fundamental issues such as ease of navigation and structure of information, which impact a visitor's ability to find relevant information. Use of content and Web-design experts to assist in the development of cessation sites is a common approach. This approach, although highly useful, may fail to adequately identify problems that a more typical, target user would experience when visiting the site. Formal usability testing provides a user-centric approach to assessing a site's functionality. In this paper, we provide an example of this approach used in the development of a cessation Web site.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Centre for Public Health, Queen's University Belfast, Belfast, United Kingdom.
Background: Dementia prevalence is projected to treble worldwide by 2040 highlighting the critical need for effective primary dementia prevention strategies. Initiatives to shape health behaviours/beliefs in childhood increase likelihood of engagement in healthy lifestyle behaviours during adulthood however some subgroups of children are more vulnerable to poor brain health during ageing. Therefore, children must have opportunities to learn about how they can engage in behaviours to improve cardiovascular and psychological health that will protect their brain as they age, contributing to dementia risk reduction (DRR) in later life.
