长期以来，视觉表征方法一直被用作健康教育环境中信息交流的工具，其对提高健康素养的影响已被调查。问题来了：一个插图应该如何与它所说明的文本信息联系起来？医学插图很可能出现在宣传册和教科书等媒体上。如果这类材料中的文本信息如此复杂，插图应该发挥什么作用？我们回顾了插图的社会学文献，以获得可能适用于健康教育和提高健康素养的发现。然后，我们评估这些工具，以确定适合信息的插图类型。在我们开发材料的三个主题中-癌症，食物过敏和HEV光-仅针对HEV光主题的早期发现被复制。这一结果背后的一个关键因素是，HEV主题的插图比其他两个主题的插图经历了更彻底的审议过程。我们的研究结果还强调了第三方意见在插图设计过程中的重要性。
Visual representation methods have long been used as tools to communicate information in health education settings, and their effect on improving health literacy has been investigated. The question arises: How should an illustration function in relation to the textual information it illustrates? Medical illustrations are likely to be featured in media such as brochures and textbooks. If the textual information in such materials is so complex, what function should illustrations play? We reviewed the sociological literature on illustrations to obtain findings potentially applicable to health education and the improvement of health literacy. We then evaluated these tools to determine the types of illustrations that are suitable for the information. Of the three topics for which we developed the materials—cancer, food allergies and HEV light—only for the HEV light topic were earlier findings replicated. One key factor behind this result was that the illustrations for the HEV topic underwent a more thorough deliberative process than those for the other two topics. The results of our study also highlight the importance of third-party opinion in the illustration design process.
