Research staff elicited perceived meaning of each infographic, preferences between infographics, suggestions for improvement, and whether or not the infographics would motivate health-promoting behavior. Analysis and infographic refinement were iterative and concurrent with data collection.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results Successful designs were information-rich, supported comparison, provided context, and\/or employed familiar color and symbolic analogies. Infographics that employed repeated icons to represent multiple instances of a more general class of things (e.g., apple icons to represent fruit servings) were interpreted in a rigidly literal fashion and thus were unsuitable for this community. Preliminary findings suggest that infographics may motivate health-promoting behaviors.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Discussion Infographics should be information-rich, contextualize the information for the viewer, and yield an accurate meaning even if interpreted literally.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion Carefully designed infographics can be useful tools to support comprehension and thus help patients engage with their own health data. Infographics may contribute to patients\u2019 ability to participate in the Learning Health System through participation in the development of a robust data utility, use of clinical communication tools for health self-management, and involvement in building knowledge through patient-reported outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jamia\/ocv079","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,15]],"date-time":"2015-07-15T00:19:56Z","timestamp":1436919596000},"page":"174-183","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":154,"title":["Sometimes
