The proposed web-based resource will be developmentally appropriate for youth aged 8 to 14 years and will include an interactive leaning module, full length video testimonials, as well as an electronic comic book. The theme of investigative cyber-reporting will be used throughout the online tool and will include the ability of young users to make a series of decisions about different aspects of participating in clinical research studies, states the NIH announcement.
Language typically used in journalism and design elements reminiscent of journalism will be incorporated into the content, design, and layout of the resource, according to the NIH proposal.
