Description

Erika Szilagyi-Hornyak and co-authors recount the testing of a health survey in Hungary. The survey gauges how well people talk health through with their doctors. A European first wave showed some questions confused respondents. Before a second wave, the wording was revised and translated. The team then ran talk through interviews to check sense.

Two questions tripped people up. One was long and packed, so its shape was split for clarity. The other hid that it meant views about health, so the sense was spelled out. A key term, health concern, only landed when examples were added. The final form read cleanly to test readers.
