4 focus groups (N=40) were conducted with: 1) young adult (18-25 year old) OTP users 2) young adult non-users 3) adolescent (16-17 year old) OTP users 4) adolescent non-users
Participants interacted with…
1) www.therealcost.com 2) www.thetruth.com 3) www.stillblowingsmoke.org
…and shared opinions about the aesthetics, usability, and content. Lastly, participants gave feedback for a static, developmental mock-up of our OTP website.

Use visuals that…
• Communicate at-a-glance
• Provide visual-verbal redundancy
• Potentially allow for amplification through simplification

PROTOTYPICALITY
Roth et al. (2013)
Choose a format that…
