Abstract

Objective

To design a comprehensive protocol for obtaining qualitative information from a wide range of population groups on digital health literacy (dHL). This protocol was used for the development of a European dHL Strategy.

Study design

protocol design.

Methods

An extensive review of existing literature and a collaborative design of the protocol was carried out involving dHL experts and strategic stakeholders in the definition of the different sections adapted to the specific characteristics of different population groups, including vulnerable groups.

Results

A description of all the sections of the protocol is provided, recruitment strategies with recommendations for each population group were included, general and specific-group questions for interviews were designed and participatory techniques for each group were identified. The protocol was successfully implemented in 10 European countries engaging a total of 1434 European citizens from 19 population groups.

Conclusions

This methodology is a novel protocol to be used by policy makers in the future development of national and regional dHL action plans. The protocol will facilitate the acquisition of qualitative information and new insights into barriers and suggestions for improvement in dHL, thereby advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion when capturing the nuanced lived experiences of diverse groups.

从欧洲公民获取关于数字卫生素养的定性信息的IDEAHL综合协议

目的设计一种全面的方案，从广泛的人群中获得关于数字健康素养（dHL）的定性信息。该协议被用于制定欧洲dHL战略。研究设计方案设计。方法对现有文献进行了广泛的回顾，并对方案进行了协作设计，dHL专家和战略利益相关者参与了不同部分的定义，以适应不同人群（包括弱势群体）的具体特征。结果对方案的所有部分进行了描述，纳入了针对每个人群的招募策略和建议，设计了一般性和特定群体的访谈问题，并确定了每个群体的参与技术。该议定书在10个欧洲国家成功执行，共有来自19个人口群体的1434名欧洲公民参与。结论：该方法是一种新的协议，可供政策制定者在国家和地区dHL行动计划的未来发展中使用。该协议将有助于获取定性信息和对dHL障碍的新见解以及改进建议，从而在捕捉不同群体细微的生活经历时促进多样性、公平性和包容性。
