A sample of parents of CYWD (n=10) participated in a prompted think aloud process (i.e., verbalize thoughts) while searching for PA information online. Researchers observed the parents and gathered information regarding their experience and preferences. Using an inductive thematic analysis of the parents think aloud responses, the following emerged as key themes regarding online PA information needs: Know exactly what programs they offer, Keep it very very simple, and More work for parents to find something. Parents used as an online evaluation criterion, including information parents considered important, to determine the suitability of the program for their CYWD. An improved understanding of parents experiences and preferences while searching for PA information can inform how PA or disability organizations structure their websites to create positive search experiences.enAuthor owns copyright, except where explicitly noted.
