Health information is a prerequisite of informed decision-making. Criteria for development, content and presentation have recently been published in a corresponding guideline. Within a systematic search, 27 relevant checklists were identified, none of them, however, complying with the guideline or providing reasonably operationalised measurement items. Therefore, a draft of a checklist with 19 criteria was drafted. The current study aims at developing and validating this measure of quality.
The validation design consists of five single studies to be conducted at the University of Halle-Wittenberg/Germany and Graz/Austria. (1) Achieving content validity through expert reviews of the first draft, (2) achieving feasibility using 'think aloud' in piloting with untrained users, (3) pretesting the instrument applied to health information materials without use of secondary sources: determining inter-rater reliability and criterion validity, (4) determining construct validity using information on proceedings and methods in the development process provided by the developers and (5) determining divergent validity in comparison with the Ensuring Quality Information for Patients (EQUIP) (expanded) Scale. The substudies will use varying samples of experts, students and developers and will apply the instrument to materials of various domains. Sample sizes will be adjusted to the particular research designs and questions. Analyses will employ qualitative methods, such as content analyses and discourse within the expert panel, and correlation-based methods both for determining inter-rater reliability and validity.
The project is approved by the ethics committee of the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (approval number: 2019 115). Results will be published, and the instrument made accessible on public health platforms. It is meant to become a certification standard. MAPPinfo can be used as a screening instrument without training or secondary sources. Although developed in the German language, the instrument will be applicable also in other languages.

健康信息是做出明智决策的前提。最近在相应的指南中发布了健康信息开发、内容和呈现的标准。通过系统搜索，确定了 27 份相关清单，但没有一份符合指南或提供合理可操作的测量项目。因此，起草了一份包含 19 项标准的清单草案。本研究旨在制定和验证该质量衡量标准。
验证设计包括在德国哈勒-维滕贝格大学和奥地利格拉茨进行的五项独立研究。（1）通过对初稿的专家审查实现内容有效性，（2）通过对未经培训的用户进行“出声思考”的试点研究实现可行性，（3）在不使用辅助来源的情况下对健康信息材料进行预测试：确定评分者间信度和标准效度，（4）通过开发人员提供的关于开发过程中的程序和方法的信息确定构念效度，（5）与 Ensuring Quality Information for Patients (EQUIP) (expanded) Scale 进行比较，确定区别效度。子研究将使用不同的专家、学生和开发人员样本，并将该工具应用于不同领域的材料。样本量将根据特定的研究设计和问题进行调整。分析将采用定性方法，如内容分析和专家小组内的话语，以及基于相关性的方法，用于确定评分者间信度和效度。
该项目已获得马丁·路德大学哈勒-维滕贝格伦理委员会的批准（批准号：2019 115）。研究结果将公布，并在公共卫生平台上提供该工具。它旨在成为认证标准。MAPPinfo 可在未经培训或使用辅助来源的情况下用作筛查工具。虽然该工具是用德语开发的，但也可在其他语言中使用。
