The Internet is a preferred source of physical activity (PA) information. However, limited research exists regarding the experiences of parents of children and youth with disabilities (CYWD) in searching for PA programme information online. This research examined the experiences and preferences of parents of CYWD in searching for PA programme information online.
Parents of CYWD (n = 10) participated in a think-aloud exercise while searching for PA programme information online. Following the think-aloud exercise, semi-structured interviews were used to further understand parents' experiences and preferences in searching for PA programme information online.
Parents identified key features that contributed to a positive online search experience. Additionally, parents noted challenges and resulting negative affect that was experienced.
This research can inform the development and dissemination of online PA programme information that is accessible and relevant to the preferences of parents of CYWD and can facilitate positive search experiences.
互联网是获取身体活动（PA）信息的首选来源。然而，关于残疾儿童和青年（CYWD）家长在网上搜索 PA 计划信息的经验，相关研究有限。本研究考察了家长在网上搜索 PA 计划信息的体验和偏好。
10 名 CYWD 家长参与了网上搜索 PA 计划信息的出声思维练习。在出声思维练习之后，采用半结构式访谈进一步了解家长在网上搜索 PA 计划信息的体验和偏好。
家长们确定了有助于在线搜索体验积极的关键特征。此外，家长们还指出了搜索中遇到的挑战和由此产生的负面影响。
这项研究可以为开发和传播在线 PA 计划信息提供信息，这些信息对 CYWD 家长的偏好具有可及性和相关性，并能促进积极的搜索体验。
