Table 3:

Medium Preference

Medium Preference	Written
	“You can take your time to look on paper and go back and forward over it. With online it’s kind of like you got to rush through it because your computer might freeze up or something else might happen but with paper you can always just go back and forth to read it.” “I think like it could be nice that they have just a health book or a health magazine, that teach you or tell you how little different parts of articles about everything that you could be sick by, rash, you know, different stuff like that.” “I think like some pamphlets about, you know, certain things like stomach aches, flu, common cold, things like that, I think that’d be helpful.” “Maybe a little pocket guide.”
	Website
	“[On websites] I can see it because that’s instant. I can look it up immediately. I can look it up, I can see pictures of whatever I’m trying to look for, you know? I can get multiple different types of information for what I’m looking for.” “It would be really to cool to have a website that was all about the sicknesses that kids got or that updated you about the previous viruses and everything that is going on.” “It would be cool to have a website that would tell you what’s the season, and what’s going around, what to look for, ask your doctor about this. That would be really cool, that’s updated with the seasons and sicknesses and would give you general information about each and every one that usually kids and toddlers get about that age.” “I actually like seeing visual stuff, so when I go on line it is a lot of visual stuff more than just reading.”
	Smart Phone App
	“Apps are always nice to have because they’re quick, they’re easy, you don’t have to wait too long for them to boot up for you.” “A phone app would be awesome. Because when I was laying in bed last night I wouldn’t even have to get up and even get on a computer. So it was very accessible.”
	In-Person
	“In-person. Because you get to see the person that you are talking to, you get to see their expressions, you get to know, like, it’s like basically hands-on. I am going to learn everything; I need to learn that way.” “In-person teaching. Because I am more...hands-on.”
	Video or DVD
	“I actually like seeing visual stuff, so when I go on line it is a lot of visual stuff more than just reading. I want to be able to see exactly what the person is doing, even if there is just videos.” “I’m not into reading. I can read but, I’m not into reading. I like DVDs better.”
	Live-Chat
	“[I would prefer live-chat because] you could chat with someone and ask them...about something you read on there that wasn’t clear. Or that you wanted more of an explanation that would be fantastic!”
