Web watch: Members give aafp.org a thumbs-up
The votes are in, and AAFP's Web site has garnered rave reviews from members.
In an e-mail survey that was sent to 22,500 active members in March, a strong majority of respondents -- 89.5 percent -- rated the Web site as "good" or "excellent." About 3,600 members answered the 32-item questionnaire, yielding a response rate of 16 percent.
The information gathered will be used to improve AAFP's Web site, says Gordon Schmittling, director of the AAFP Research and Information Services Division. Schmittling adds that he is pleased with the feedback and wishes to thank the respondents because members' input is critical to the ongoing development of the site.
Several features of AAFP's Web site received special kudos. The "Daily Question," "Practice Pearls," and the state and national Web lobbying interface "Speak Out!" were all lauded for quality of information and ease of use.
One added note: 43 percent of respondents indicated that they have their own Web site, with 12 percent of respondents saying they used the Academy's free service to create a Web site on familydoctor.org for their patients.
