Design Research Methodology

A number of research studies support the importance of culturally appropriate design for e-business, e-commerce and advanced learning applications. This is not surprising, considering influence of user interface design on usability, accessibility and acceptability of software. To identify cultural preferences in visual interface design, the authors conducted research studying culture-specific web interface design elements for a large number of countries all over the globe. This chapter reports on study methodology and results, focusing mostly on the global colors study. The authors explain the approach and research methodology they utilized to conduct the automated “cultural audit” for identification of culture-relevant design and color preferences in web interface design. Research methodology for a manual “cultural audit” is also discussed. The authors present the overall findings of their study, and conclude with observations on the usefulness of their research approach, the applicability of cultural analysis tools the authors developed and future research in culturally appropriate user interfaces.

Asian American Health

Abstract Asian Americans (AAs) are frequently diagnosed with dementia in advanced disease stages and have difficulty accessing services. The NYU Center for the Study of Asian American Health, set out to culturally adapt The Kickstart-Assess-Evaluate-Refer (KAER) framework to support earlier detection of dementia in AA communities. Working with Bangladeshi, Chinese, and Korean senior centers, we used a participatory action approach to assess cultural relevancy, usability and acceptability of KAER to improve timely diagnosis and access to care. We found that community-based organizations (CBOs), not physicians, were often “first responders” in identifying and managing dementia. However, CBO staff felt unprepared to “Kickstart” discussions, found certain KAER questions were not culturally appropriate, and encountered barriers in communicating their concerns to physicians. Adaptations to KAER can maximize its impact and reach in AA communities. Suggestions include group education, as opposed to individualized screening, and stronger linkages between physicians and CBOs to ensure care continuity.
