Evaluation of pictorial symbols to warn computer keyboard users about carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)
Year:
2001

Abstract:
Carpal tu n nel syndrome (CTS) i s an upper-extremity disorder th a t can cause chron i c pain and disab i lity. Although CTS can arise from a wide variety of repetitive tasks with awkward hand / arm positioning, a large percentage of cases are attributed to, or exacerbated by, computer input devices…

Abstract:
This study examined the effect of the presence and color of a supplemental cap label on medication information acquisition and container preference.

Abstract:
Pictorials can aid in communicating warning information, but viewers may not always correctly comprehend them. Two experiments focused on whether the use of relevant highlighting could bene fi t pictorial comprehension. A set of warning-related pictorials were manipulated according to three-color highlighting conditions: highlighting areas more relevant to correct comprehension, highlighting areas less relevant to…

Abstract:
People are commonly asked to sign forms intended to serve as contracts or formalized agreements. Although it is prudent to read these forms carefully before signing, people sometimes do not do so. Failure to read an agreement would presumably be reflected in lack of subsequent comprehension of its content. This experiment examined three factors that…

Abstract:
Factors influencing warning effectiveness are organized around a communication-human information processing (C- HIP) model. It starts with a source relaying a warning message through media. At the receiver, processing begins when attention is switched and then maintained. Processing continues with successive stages of comprehension, beliefs and attitudes, motivation, and ending with behavior.

Abstract:
Built (constructed) environments should have level surfaces to promote mobility and avoid injuries from trips and falls. Wheel stops (usually long concrete slabs with metal bolts to hold them in place) are some- times placed in parking lots to limit and control how drivers position their vehicle in designated spaces. However, they present potential problems…

Abstract:
This research examines consumers' ability to acquire information from a simulated OTC medication bottle. Twelve otherwise identical OTC drug bottles were compared that had back labels which varied in (a) print size, (b) amount of white space between text, and (c) label design (standard vs. extended/pull-out). A no back label condition served as a control.…
