Healthfinder.gov Has a New Design

Filed in archive Consumer Alert , News by Gloria Gamat on September 23, 2008

Healthfinder.gov has a new design. The site offers quick and easy prevention information and tools to help people stay healthy and prevent disease.

Healthfinder.gov's new Quick Guide to Healthy Living uses everyday language and examples to:


  • Describe "small steps" users can do to improve their health

  • Give users positive reasons to change their behavior

  • Provide tools and encouragement, such as personal health calculators, menu planners and recipes, tips for caregivers, and printable lists of questions to take to the doctor



The new "myhealthfinder" tool gives users personalized health recommendations based on sex, age, and pregnancy status, from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

The redesign of healthfinder.gov was informed by health literacy and usability principles, and the site was tested with more than 650 users. We're excited about the result - a consumer health Web site that's easy to understand and navigate, especially for people with limited health literacy.

The healthfinder.gov project is coordinated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) and its National Health Information Center.

Be sure to check it out.
