Given the nature of the global HIV/AIDS pandemic, it is vital that websites providing health care information realize their highest potential. The research study involved the construction, validation and use of a new online instrument to evaluate healthcare websites, specifically being used in this study to rate two government and two non-government websites by study participants (N=200). The mean age of the participants was 30.76 (SD = 10.61), the majority were female (103, 51.5%), White (n=107, 53.5%), and had Bachelor degrees or higher (n=125, 64.5%). Rank ordered, participants agreed at the highest level that a website should be easy to read, followed by having direct links to other websites for further information, be colorful and attractive so they stay interested, have content written in simple language so they can understand the information, and have a lot of pictures or images that help to explain information. Findings indicated that the older the participants, the higher their stage of change for using the computer and internet to access healthcare information (r=.222, p= .002), and the more they valued a website being easy to read (r=.49, p=.000). The higher the income of participants, then the higher their educational level (r=.401, p=.000), the more years they had using the computer (r=.313, p=.000), and the more years they had using the Internet (r=.266, p=.000). The higher the education level of the participants, then the higher their stage of change for using computers (r=.286, p=.000), the higher their self efficacy/confidence regarding their knowledge of how to use the computer and internet to access websites providing healthcare information (r=.204, p=.004). The higher the quality of computer and internet access, then the higher their self efficacy for using the computer and internet to access healthcare websites (r=.355, p=.000), and the higher the stage of change for using the computer and internet to access healthcare information (r=.912, p=.007). Health educators may use these preliminary findings in this study as cause to work closely and collaboratively with web designers to ensure that interactive, engaging multimodal websites are created that effectively provide HIV/AIDS prevention information.
