Figure 1. Screenshots of Dr. Sowerby’s multimedia module for patient consent. Audio voice-over, images, and relevant figures were synchronized to convey clinical information. Animations were used to describe visual phenomena. To optimize patient comprehension, the module contained information at the eighth grade level and incorporated large fonts, bulleting, bolding, and underlining, as well as graphic displays using pictographs of risks and benefits. The module was designed to be interactive to let the patient control the information flow rate. Credit: The Laryngoscope. ©The American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society, Inc.
