Hello, [participant name]. My name is [moderator name] and I’m going to walk you through this session.


We’re interested in seeing how healthcare providers and public health practitioners search and use opioid guidelines and resources on CDC’s website.


I want to make it clear right away that we are not testing how well you can use the website. We’re testing the website to understand how easy or difficult it is to use. You can’t do anything wrong here. My job is to find out what’s wrong with it or where it can be improved. If you think the website is confusing or difficult to use, we need to know honestly what you think so that we can inform designers and developers of this website on how to make it better.


We are interested in how you use the website, which is why we are video recording your computer screen and asking you what’s going through your mind as you navigate. We are also audio-recording our conversation. The recordings will be used only to help us figure out how to improve the website, and it won’t be seen by anyone except the people working on the project.


Next, I am going to take a moment to ask you to confirm that you have been notified about your privacy, that we are recording this conversation, and that your participation is voluntary. This information was all included in the consent form that was emailed to you.


I am going to start recording our conversation now so that we have a record of your answers.


[Moderator begins recording]


For the record, can you confirm that you have been notified about your privacy, that we are recording this conversation, and that your participation is voluntary?


[Only continue conversation after the participant has provided verbal confirmation]


Do you have any questions before we begin?

SUS scores have a range of 0 to 100. To calculate the SUS score, first sum the score contributions from each item. Each item's score contribution will range from 0 to 4. For items 1,3,5,7, and 9 the score contribution is the scale position minus 1. For items 2,4,6,8 and 10, the contribution is 5 minus the scale position. Multiply the sum of the scores by 2.5 to obtain the overall value of SU.
