The Quest for Health

Here's an example of a patient quiz about diabetes.
The Quest for Health

You may need to log in to the LA times.

It's done as a flat quiz -- answer a page of questions and then check your answers. Ripe for an action maze, as in Quandary, in my opinion.

Other than that, I like the navigation options in the upper right-hand corner. It seems to contain everything I might want to know about diabetes, at least an initial overview.

I also like the three buttons at the bottom of the page -- "continue story," "print this story," and "top of page."

However, "print this story" opens a Word doc. This isn't a good idea -- a lot of people surfing for info might not have MS Word. Better is to open an printable HTML page -- one that will format nicely, word wrap and such. And even better to incude a print button on the page.

Update 5/1/04
The Quest for Health changes monthly. The Diabetes article can still be found. I noticed that the current example does not have the "Print this story" button, although the Diabetes article still does, and it still opens "printable.doc" into Word.
