CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Overview
For our ninth Civic User Testing session we tested Foodborne Chicago an app that searches Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning and helps report these incidents to the Chicago Department of Public Health
Target Group On April 9 we sent out an e-mail to all of our 754 CUTGroup participants When segmenting for our group we were interested in
bull Twitter users ndash focusing on heavy users and users that have at least 100 tweets bull A mixed group from all areas of Chicago - we want to have approximately 23 of the group from
the Southside 13 of the group from the North and West sides bull Participants who go out to eat often
Test Type bull Three 30-45 minute focus group sessions bull Each session had 5-6 to people bull Testers answered questions via a form so they had a chance to form their own opinions before
the group discussion bull Next we asked testers to tell us their answers and then we asked additional questions as part
of a group discussion
Questions bull How do users feel about responding to a random tweet bull Does the form require too much information bull Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or
311 visibility This could include visibility through Twitter handles domain names and logos bull Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other
Chicago neighborhoods

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Which of these tweets would you be most responsive to
Things that Matter The first one because ldquoit ties the app situation and solution to Chicago Health Departmentrdquo which is important - important that the data is being collected by the people that actually do something out Best would be combining 1 amp 3 - everyone would be benefit Bakunin Third one seemed like there was a registry of places that had food poisoning - ldquoif itrsquos linked to politics it doesnrsquot carry that much weight as the power of social mediahelliprdquo First one does seem official but more people tweeting adds to legitimacy from the people that are there vs ldquothe eye in the skyrdquo
bull gives example of traffic on Dan Ryan would be more effective hearing from people because they are in the middle of it vs a tweet from ABC News
B Health Department gives ldquoa little more credibilityrdquo Just having Fun First one
What would be the first thing you do if you got one of these tweets Mowgli I would check out Twitter profile out first
5
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Things that Matter B Just having fun Bakunin Click link
Is there anyone else you rather get a tweet from if its about food poisoning
Bakunin Chicago Health Department or if he knew that this was the ldquoindependent watchdogrdquo for the Chicago Health Department to give it credibility B Getting info from other people - references how EveryBlock shares food inspection Mowgli First tweet shows most concern for the individual - ldquomost reassuring to merdquo - if I didnrsquot know about smartchicagoapps already I am not sure I would want to click that Things that Matter Interested in what other smartchicagoapps info has but foodborne illness is a crisis and might not investigate at that time
Foodborne Chicago Form
How do you feel about filling out this formgiving this information

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Bakunin ldquoWould this form be already filled inrdquo - itrsquos my civic duty wants them to call and agrees with 1 about the language of ldquothe cityrdquo - I donrsquot want to get anyone in troublebut you did just make me sick Just having Fun ldquoI would fill it out in a heartbeatrdquo interested in seeing if they followed up Things that Matter ldquoHow can the City reach yourdquo sounds big-brotherish or ominous - prefers ldquoHow would you like to be reachedrdquo - already have the trust if someone has clicked the link and filled out the form alreadyhellip ldquoItrsquos not the Health department itrsquos lsquoThe cityrsquo which has a certain type of connotationrdquo to ithellip this sounds more political Sometimes wants to be anonymous with 311 but wants to be followed up but wants the language to be more inviting B I think the city seems so wide - wersquod want more information should be more specific towards that agency
Is there anything that would make you feel more comfortable filling out this form
Bakunin There should be a city seal on the site - to show itrsquos official and give it authenticity Itrsquos not always the best thing to put a full name - does not want to be associated with shutting down a business and being traced back to him Things that Matter Required information initials or part of name to submit rather than full name Might want to put an e-mail address and may not want to put phonehellip wants to write whatever she wants
Would you be more likely to submit this form on a mobile device or on a computer
All mixed reaction seems not to matter Mowgli Laptop due to being comfortable with keyboard
QampA
Does this information change your feelings about filling out the form
B I wasnrsquot aware that this existed - always calls 311 Never bothered to go to Web site Confirms that this is official Just having Fun References past 311 experience and receiving confirmation number - ldquosurprised they actually fixed the problemrdquo Bakunin ldquoit gave me more confidencerdquo Looked at privacy policy and loved that information
7
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Would you want to see this information elsewhere - additional question
Mowgli ldquoAre you directed to this page after you fill out the formrdquo Made him feel less comfortable Not sure what Smart Chicago is based on the site and does not know what the entity structure is - not sure what is happening to the data between submitted him and reaching the city Needs to have a straight-forward connection to the City Likes source code but only helps because he is a developer Bakunin Hyperlinks ldquowhat happens to your informationrdquo on privacy policy with form Things that Matter I think most people knows what 311 is that info might further encourage somebody to report food poisoning
Would you want to receive an e-mail with this type of information
All Mixed reactions - no strong opinion from individuals or as group
General Foodborne Topics
In what ways do you think Foodborne Chicago could be improved [Written responses] Things that Matter Info QampA page Seems like a FAQ and would be better if named as such Include city related-logos and seals on all webpages to emphasize relationship and connection to city health dept amp city services like 311 Mowgli The name Foodborne induces a kind of negative feeling being associated with disease of course Its less about the illness and more about the reporting system isnt it The privacy policy could be highlighted as well as SmartChicagos connection with the city Just having fun To me it is fine but for it to be more effective if they provided information about the complaints that people have lodged against the restaurants and what action was taken Bakunin More legible association with the City of Chicago FAQs in short form along side the form City Seal (for symbolism) on form
Is there anything that they can do better to make you feel more inclined to interact with them or report food poisoning
Things that Matter Would be interesting to have a tracker of results (quantitative data) Bakunin Add the City seal

What would your initial reaction be if you got this tweet
EhiAyoko If foodborne asked a question that would make her more likely to open a link Sometimes when people send a link she automatically thinks itrsquos spam but if they ask a question then that would make it seem like a person behind the tweet ldquoWhere did you get food poisoningrdquo and then if she responds then send the link Natam99 ask a question versus to send a link Alpha Man Definitely would not open if on computer maybe open it on the phone If on the computer would check to see if the link is real LadyJ24 Not sure if she would click the link because it didnrsquot give enough information ldquoThis can helprdquo - what is ldquothisrdquo

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Which of these tweets would you be most responsive to
Things that Matter The first one because ldquoit ties the app situation and solution to Chicago Health Departmentrdquo which is important - important that the data is being collected by the people that actually do something out Best would be combining 1 amp 3 - everyone would be benefit Bakunin Third one seemed like there was a registry of places that had food poisoning - ldquoif itrsquos linked to politics it doesnrsquot carry that much weight as the power of social mediahelliprdquo First one does seem official but more people tweeting adds to legitimacy from the people that are there vs ldquothe eye in the skyrdquo
bull gives example of traffic on Dan Ryan would be more effective hearing from people because they are in the middle of it vs a tweet from ABC News

Things that Matter B Just having fun Bakunin Click link
Is there anyone else you rather get a tweet from if its about food poisoning
Bakunin Chicago Health Department or if he knew that this was the ldquoindependent watchdogrdquo for the Chicago Health Department to give it credibility B Getting info from other people - references how EveryBlock shares food inspection Mowgli First tweet shows most concern for the individual - ldquomost reassuring to merdquo - if I didnrsquot know about smartchicagoapps already I am not sure I would want to click that Things that Matter Interested in what other smartchicagoapps info has but foodborne illness is a crisis and might not investigate at that time

How do you feel about filling out this formgiving this information

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Bakunin ldquoWould this form be already filled inrdquo - itrsquos my civic duty wants them to call and agrees with 1 about the language of ldquothe cityrdquo - I donrsquot want to get anyone in troublebut you did just make me sick Just having Fun ldquoI would fill it out in a heartbeatrdquo interested in seeing if they followed up Things that Matter ldquoHow can the City reach yourdquo sounds big-brotherish or ominous - prefers ldquoHow would you like to be reachedrdquo - already have the trust if someone has clicked the link and filled out the form alreadyhellip ldquoItrsquos not the Health department itrsquos lsquoThe cityrsquo which has a certain type of connotationrdquo to ithellip this sounds more political Sometimes wants to be anonymous with 311 but wants to be followed up but wants the language to be more inviting B I think the city seems so wide - wersquod want more information should be more specific towards that agency
Is there anything that would make you feel more comfortable filling out this form
Bakunin There should be a city seal on the site - to show itrsquos official and give it authenticity Itrsquos not always the best thing to put a full name - does not want to be associated with shutting down a business and being traced back to him Things that Matter Required information initials or part of name to submit rather than full name Might want to put an e-mail address and may not want to put phonehellip wants to write whatever she wants
Would you be more likely to submit this form on a mobile device or on a computer
All mixed reaction seems not to matter Mowgli Laptop due to being comfortable with keyboard
QampA
Does this information change your feelings about filling out the form
B I wasnrsquot aware that this existed - always calls 311 Never bothered to go to Web site Confirms that this is official Just having Fun References past 311 experience and receiving confirmation number - ldquosurprised they actually fixed the problemrdquo Bakunin ldquoit gave me more confidencerdquo Looked at privacy policy and loved that information

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Would you want to see this information elsewhere - additional question
Mowgli ldquoAre you directed to this page after you fill out the formrdquo Made him feel less comfortable Not sure what Smart Chicago is based on the site and does not know what the entity structure is - not sure what is happening to the data between submitted him and reaching the city Needs to have a straight-forward connection to the City Likes source code but only helps because he is a developer Bakunin Hyperlinks ldquowhat happens to your informationrdquo on privacy policy with form Things that Matter I think most people knows what 311 is that info might further encourage somebody to report food poisoning
Would you want to receive an e-mail with this type of information
All Mixed reactions - no strong opinion from individuals or as group
General Foodborne Topics
In what ways do you think Foodborne Chicago could be improved [Written responses] Things that Matter Info QampA page Seems like a FAQ and would be better if named as such Include city related-logos and seals on all webpages to emphasize relationship and connection to city health dept amp city services like 311 Mowgli The name Foodborne induces a kind of negative feeling being associated with disease of course Its less about the illness and more about the reporting system isnt it The privacy policy could be highlighted as well as SmartChicagos connection with the city Just having fun To me it is fine but for it to be more effective if they provided information about the complaints that people have lodged against the restaurants and what action was taken Bakunin More legible association with the City of Chicago FAQs in short form along side the form City Seal (for symbolism) on form
Is there anything that they can do better to make you feel more inclined to interact with them or report food poisoning
Things that Matter Would be interesting to have a tracker of results (quantitative data) Bakunin Add the City seal

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Alpha Man Mostly cell phone Foodie Mostly cell but sometimes uses computer when some people direct message What would be your normal course of action if someone you did not recognize tweeted at you
EhiAyoko Looks at picture and checks whether or not it is an ad Alpha Man Uses ldquoWho isrdquo - most of the time itrsquos people he knows or heard about LadyJ24 If itrsquos spam doesnrsquot add it Foodie Checks to see if itrsquos something for work generally people following are connected with sonrsquos school work or basketball
Can you tell me about a positive experience you had with an organization through social media Alpha Man With NAACP and received a lot of retweets for the ldquoget out and voterdquo stuff
EhiAyoko Tweet for organization works and itrsquos good to get new followers - feels like she is doing something good
LadyJ24 Likes to stay current
Foodborne Chicago Tweets
What would your initial reaction be if you got this tweet
EhiAyoko If foodborne asked a question that would make her more likely to open a link Sometimes when people send a link she automatically thinks itrsquos spam but if they ask a question then that would make it seem like a person behind the tweet ldquoWhere did you get food poisoningrdquo and then if she responds then send the link Natam99 ask a question versus to send a link Alpha Man Definitely would not open if on computer maybe open it on the phone If on the computer would check to see if the link is real LadyJ24 Not sure if she would click the link because it didnrsquot give enough information ldquoThis can helprdquo - what is ldquothisrdquo

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Foodie Only time clicks on links in on mobile because of viruses donrsquot affect phones the same way as computers
If you have had food poisoning what actions if any did you take to report it
Natam99 Reported it by calling the restaurant but they didnrsquot want to take responsibility because no one else reported it
Do you normally tweet about being ill Would you tweet about food poisoning if it happened to you LadyJ24 Complain companies
Foodie Mostly would do that on Facebook because Twitter profile is generally locked Facebook a way to give friends a heads up and then can comment on it The same level of interaction does not work on Twitter unless they ldquostar somethingrdquo not sure if something is beneficial to someone else itrsquos not as easy to get feedback EhiAyoko Used to report bad restaurants and once reported a bad dentist and then someone started harassing her and so she stopped Alpha Man Would not report on Twitter but might report on Facebook Has more friends on Facebook that would want to inform vs on Twitter
18
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Which of these tweets would you be most responsive to
EhiAyoko Combination of the first and third one ldquoSorry to hear yoursquore ill Where did you eat Let us know hererdquo It was hard to choose Alpha Man The middle one I wouldnrsquot use (others agreed) First and third because it apologizes first then asks a question and then gives advice LadyJ24 The third one because it includes a question Seems more concerned than the other statements Foodie Agree the third one is the most appealing

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

B ldquoIrsquom not going thererdquo Wants to share on Everyblock and wants to let people everyone know not to go there Just having Fun Wanted to know name of restaurant to see who would avoid it Would follow link to see where it was coming from Things that Matter Proactive and timely information ldquoIs it legitimaterdquo I want to know what organization it is coming from Mowgli ldquoIf I got food poisoning it would be my own faultrdquo ldquoI would be kind of hesitantrdquo but it looks official Would check it out Looks official because it says Chicago in the name and assumes it is a local initiative
Everyone had food poisoning in this group
If you have had food poisoning what actions if any did you take to report it
Mowgli Just dealt with it Just having Fun Did not report it but did tell people through social media outlets

Which of these tweets would you be most responsive to
Things that Matter The first one because ldquoit ties the app situation and solution to Chicago Health Departmentrdquo which is important - important that the data is being collected by the people that actually do something out Best would be combining 1 amp 3 - everyone would be benefit Bakunin Third one seemed like there was a registry of places that had food poisoning - ldquoif itrsquos linked to politics it doesnrsquot carry that much weight as the power of social mediahelliprdquo First one does seem official but more people tweeting adds to legitimacy from the people that are there vs ldquothe eye in the skyrdquo
bull gives example of traffic on Dan Ryan would be more effective hearing from people because they are in the middle of it vs a tweet from ABC News
B Health Department gives ldquoa little more credibilityrdquo Just having Fun First one
What would be the first thing you do if you got one of these tweets Mowgli I would check out Twitter profile out first

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Things that Matter B Just having fun Bakunin Click link
Is there anyone else you rather get a tweet from if its about food poisoning
Bakunin Chicago Health Department or if he knew that this was the ldquoindependent watchdogrdquo for the Chicago Health Department to give it credibility B Getting info from other people - references how EveryBlock shares food inspection Mowgli First tweet shows most concern for the individual - ldquomost reassuring to merdquo - if I didnrsquot know about smartchicagoapps already I am not sure I would want to click that Things that Matter Interested in what other smartchicagoapps info has but foodborne illness is a crisis and might not investigate at that time
Foodborne Chicago Form
How do you feel about filling out this formgiving this information

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Bakunin ldquoWould this form be already filled inrdquo - itrsquos my civic duty wants them to call and agrees with 1 about the language of ldquothe cityrdquo - I donrsquot want to get anyone in troublebut you did just make me sick Just having Fun ldquoI would fill it out in a heartbeatrdquo interested in seeing if they followed up Things that Matter ldquoHow can the City reach yourdquo sounds big-brotherish or ominous - prefers ldquoHow would you like to be reachedrdquo - already have the trust if someone has clicked the link and filled out the form alreadyhellip ldquoItrsquos not the Health department itrsquos lsquoThe cityrsquo which has a certain type of connotationrdquo to ithellip this sounds more political Sometimes wants to be anonymous with 311 but wants to be followed up but wants the language to be more inviting B I think the city seems so wide - wersquod want more information should be more specific towards that agency
Is there anything that would make you feel more comfortable filling out this form
Bakunin There should be a city seal on the site - to show itrsquos official and give it authenticity Itrsquos not always the best thing to put a full name - does not want to be associated with shutting down a business and being traced back to him Things that Matter Required information initials or part of name to submit rather than full name Might want to put an e-mail address and may not want to put phonehellip wants to write whatever she wants
Would you be more likely to submit this form on a mobile device or on a computer
All mixed reaction seems not to matter Mowgli Laptop due to being comfortable with keyboard
QampA
Does this information change your feelings about filling out the form
B I wasnrsquot aware that this existed - always calls 311 Never bothered to go to Web site Confirms that this is official Just having Fun References past 311 experience and receiving confirmation number - ldquosurprised they actually fixed the problemrdquo Bakunin ldquoit gave me more confidencerdquo Looked at privacy policy and loved that information

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Would you want to see this information elsewhere - additional question
Mowgli ldquoAre you directed to this page after you fill out the formrdquo Made him feel less comfortable Not sure what Smart Chicago is based on the site and does not know what the entity structure is - not sure what is happening to the data between submitted him and reaching the city Needs to have a straight-forward connection to the City Likes source code but only helps because he is a developer Bakunin Hyperlinks ldquowhat happens to your informationrdquo on privacy policy with form Things that Matter I think most people knows what 311 is that info might further encourage somebody to report food poisoning
Would you want to receive an e-mail with this type of information
All Mixed reactions - no strong opinion from individuals or as group
General Foodborne Topics
In what ways do you think Foodborne Chicago could be improved [Written responses] Things that Matter Info QampA page Seems like a FAQ and would be better if named as such Include city related-logos and seals on all webpages to emphasize relationship and connection to city health dept amp city services like 311 Mowgli The name Foodborne induces a kind of negative feeling being associated with disease of course Its less about the illness and more about the reporting system isnt it The privacy policy could be highlighted as well as SmartChicagos connection with the city Just having fun To me it is fine but for it to be more effective if they provided information about the complaints that people have lodged against the restaurants and what action was taken Bakunin More legible association with the City of Chicago FAQs in short form along side the form City Seal (for symbolism) on form
Is there anything that they can do better to make you feel more inclined to interact with them or report food poisoning
Things that Matter Would be interesting to have a tracker of results (quantitative data) Bakunin Add the City seal

What would your initial reaction be if you got this tweet
EhiAyoko If foodborne asked a question that would make her more likely to open a link Sometimes when people send a link she automatically thinks itrsquos spam but if they ask a question then that would make it seem like a person behind the tweet ldquoWhere did you get food poisoningrdquo and then if she responds then send the link Natam99 ask a question versus to send a link Alpha Man Definitely would not open if on computer maybe open it on the phone If on the computer would check to see if the link is real LadyJ24 Not sure if she would click the link because it didnrsquot give enough information ldquoThis can helprdquo - what is ldquothisrdquo

If you have had food poisoning what actions if any did you take to report it
Natam99 Reported it by calling the restaurant but they didnrsquot want to take responsibility because no one else reported it
Do you normally tweet about being ill Would you tweet about food poisoning if it happened to you LadyJ24 Complain companies
Foodie Mostly would do that on Facebook because Twitter profile is generally locked Facebook a way to give friends a heads up and then can comment on it The same level of interaction does not work on Twitter unless they ldquostar somethingrdquo not sure if something is beneficial to someone else itrsquos not as easy to get feedback EhiAyoko Used to report bad restaurants and once reported a bad dentist and then someone started harassing her and so she stopped Alpha Man Would not report on Twitter but might report on Facebook Has more friends on Facebook that would want to inform vs on Twitter

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

What would your initial reaction be if you got this tweet
B ldquoIrsquom not going thererdquo Wants to share on Everyblock and wants to let people everyone know not to go there Just having Fun Wanted to know name of restaurant to see who would avoid it Would follow link to see where it was coming from Things that Matter Proactive and timely information ldquoIs it legitimaterdquo I want to know what organization it is coming from Mowgli ldquoIf I got food poisoning it would be my own faultrdquo ldquoI would be kind of hesitantrdquo but it looks official Would check it out Looks official because it says Chicago in the name and assumes it is a local initiative
Everyone had food poisoning in this group
If you have had food poisoning what actions if any did you take to report it
Mowgli Just dealt with it Just having Fun Did not report it but did tell people through social media outlets
B Reputation created from a suspect restaurant Bakunin If had food poisoning thinks this looks official due to red cross and the name Chicago
4
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Which of these tweets would you be most responsive to
Things that Matter The first one because ldquoit ties the app situation and solution to Chicago Health Departmentrdquo which is important - important that the data is being collected by the people that actually do something out Best would be combining 1 amp 3 - everyone would be benefit Bakunin Third one seemed like there was a registry of places that had food poisoning - ldquoif itrsquos linked to politics it doesnrsquot carry that much weight as the power of social mediahelliprdquo First one does seem official but more people tweeting adds to legitimacy from the people that are there vs ldquothe eye in the skyrdquo
bull gives example of traffic on Dan Ryan would be more effective hearing from people because they are in the middle of it vs a tweet from ABC News
B Health Department gives ldquoa little more credibilityrdquo Just having Fun First one
What would be the first thing you do if you got one of these tweets Mowgli I would check out Twitter profile out first
5
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Things that Matter B Just having fun Bakunin Click link
Is there anyone else you rather get a tweet from if its about food poisoning
Bakunin Chicago Health Department or if he knew that this was the ldquoindependent watchdogrdquo for the Chicago Health Department to give it credibility B Getting info from other people - references how EveryBlock shares food inspection Mowgli First tweet shows most concern for the individual - ldquomost reassuring to merdquo - if I didnrsquot know about smartchicagoapps already I am not sure I would want to click that Things that Matter Interested in what other smartchicagoapps info has but foodborne illness is a crisis and might not investigate at that time
Foodborne Chicago Form
How do you feel about filling out this formgiving this information
6
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Bakunin ldquoWould this form be already filled inrdquo - itrsquos my civic duty wants them to call and agrees with 1 about the language of ldquothe cityrdquo - I donrsquot want to get anyone in troublebut you did just make me sick Just having Fun ldquoI would fill it out in a heartbeatrdquo interested in seeing if they followed up Things that Matter ldquoHow can the City reach yourdquo sounds big-brotherish or ominous - prefers ldquoHow would you like to be reachedrdquo - already have the trust if someone has clicked the link and filled out the form alreadyhellip ldquoItrsquos not the Health department itrsquos lsquoThe cityrsquo which has a certain type of connotationrdquo to ithellip this sounds more political Sometimes wants to be anonymous with 311 but wants to be followed up but wants the language to be more inviting B I think the city seems so wide - wersquod want more information should be more specific towards that agency
Is there anything that would make you feel more comfortable filling out this form
Bakunin There should be a city seal on the site - to show itrsquos official and give it authenticity Itrsquos not always the best thing to put a full name - does not want to be associated with shutting down a business and being traced back to him Things that Matter Required information initials or part of name to submit rather than full name Might want to put an e-mail address and may not want to put phonehellip wants to write whatever she wants
Would you be more likely to submit this form on a mobile device or on a computer
All mixed reaction seems not to matter Mowgli Laptop due to being comfortable with keyboard
QampA
Does this information change your feelings about filling out the form
B I wasnrsquot aware that this existed - always calls 311 Never bothered to go to Web site Confirms that this is official Just having Fun References past 311 experience and receiving confirmation number - ldquosurprised they actually fixed the problemrdquo Bakunin ldquoit gave me more confidencerdquo Looked at privacy policy and loved that information
7
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Would you want to see this information elsewhere - additional question
Mowgli ldquoAre you directed to this page after you fill out the formrdquo Made him feel less comfortable Not sure what Smart Chicago is based on the site and does not know what the entity structure is - not sure what is happening to the data between submitted him and reaching the city Needs to have a straight-forward connection to the City Likes source code but only helps because he is a developer Bakunin Hyperlinks ldquowhat happens to your informationrdquo on privacy policy with form Things that Matter I think most people knows what 311 is that info might further encourage somebody to report food poisoning
Would you want to receive an e-mail with this type of information
All Mixed reactions - no strong opinion from individuals or as group
General Foodborne Topics
In what ways do you think Foodborne Chicago could be improved [Written responses] Things that Matter Info QampA page Seems like a FAQ and would be better if named as such Include city related-logos and seals on all webpages to emphasize relationship and connection to city health dept amp city services like 311 Mowgli The name Foodborne induces a kind of negative feeling being associated with disease of course Its less about the illness and more about the reporting system isnt it The privacy policy could be highlighted as well as SmartChicagos connection with the city Just having fun To me it is fine but for it to be more effective if they provided information about the complaints that people have lodged against the restaurants and what action was taken Bakunin More legible association with the City of Chicago FAQs in short form along side the form City Seal (for symbolism) on form
Is there anything that they can do better to make you feel more inclined to interact with them or report food poisoning
Things that Matter Would be interesting to have a tracker of results (quantitative data) Bakunin Add the City seal

Re giving information on the form Andersonville Appreciate anonymity of the internet and depends on how angry he is about the situation - not sure if wants a response Spouse of food poison victim ldquoThatrsquos toughrdquo - part of him wants a paper trail of the situation (law settlement from wifersquos experience but could not track it) - interested in this helping citizens keep records Andersonville Believes that with Spouse of food poison victimrsquos situation the doctorhospital would have to report it and this form is ldquominorrdquo
Spouse of food poison victim When I asked him about reporting it he said he didnrsquot have to
Foodlover ldquoI donrsquot know if I would because I am not sure what the effect would berdquo slackerdiva Are these people advocates for me
[What do you think it does from this initial page]
Spouse of food poison victim Notifies something is going on somewhere - ldquoare you going to share that with the publicrdquo to not go somewhere - ldquoitrsquos hard to say not go somewhererdquo slackerdiva Would do it but wants a response quickly Spouse of food poison victim Like an auto-reply with a case number
Does this information change your feelings about filling out the form
OnePresence Consumers are creating some record of an incident - ldquoa legitimate reportrdquo - if many people fill this out you get crowd-sourced legitimacy Also want to see progresstally to see what Foodborne has done Twitter feed on the page - adds credibility and tells him that itrsquos currenton-going and allows him to appreciate what Foodborne Chicago is doing Foodlover Still not sure what happens and you get a tracker number ldquobut what does the city do what does the 311 system dordquo slackerdiva Interested in Github piece - Open311 lends credibility and very interested in this part - itrsquos trackeablemeasurable ldquothatrsquos coolrdquo Very interested in the Service Tracker - likes the 311 component Interested in blog to give static information spot (vs Twitter feed idea)

slackerdiva Yes interested in privacy policy (124 interested in seeing this on the first page) Spouse of food poison victim Yes Andersonville ldquoHow instantaneous is itrdquo
General Foodborne Topics In what ways do you think Foodborne Chicago could be improved
OnePresence Maybe there could be a dashboard that summarizes trends in food issues in Chicago Slackerdiva Show me success stories Show me what concrete actionable steps were taken that aided individuals in the city from 2 weeks of gastrointestinal nightmares FoodLover Make link to health dept more blatant Define expectations of what happens if I fill out the form Greater awareness of the app so people know its legit Spouse of food poison victim Getting the word out on the program is the most important thing at this point as I feel like a pretty engaged city resident but have never heard of the organization I also think highlighting the collaboration with the Citys Department of Health is important Andersonville I [think] that it is useful the problem is that it is not very well known so a site like this can be mistaken as something else If the org was a gov instead it would be more helpful
How do you feel about Foodborne Chicago
OnePresence Glad it doesnrsquot ask for a location because tired of answering NO Andersonville Agrees with this itrsquos annoying OnePresence Interested in resources to know if you have food poisoning vs flu or other illness

EhiAyoko If foodborne asked a question that would make her more likely to open a link Sometimes when people send a link she automatically thinks itrsquos spam but if they ask a question then that would make it seem like a person behind the tweet ldquoWhere did you get food poisoningrdquo and then if she responds then send the link Natam99 ask a question versus to send a link Alpha Man Definitely would not open if on computer maybe open it on the phone If on the computer would check to see if the link is real LadyJ24 Not sure if she would click the link because it didnrsquot give enough information ldquoThis can helprdquo - what is ldquothisrdquo

Natam99 Reported it by calling the restaurant but they didnrsquot want to take responsibility because no one else reported it

Foodie Mostly would do that on Facebook because Twitter profile is generally locked Facebook a way to give friends a heads up and then can comment on it The same level of interaction does not work on Twitter unless they ldquostar somethingrdquo not sure if something is beneficial to someone else itrsquos not as easy to get feedback EhiAyoko Used to report bad restaurants and once reported a bad dentist and then someone started harassing her and so she stopped Alpha Man Would not report on Twitter but might report on Facebook Has more friends on Facebook that would want to inform vs on Twitter
18

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Which of these tweets would you be most responsive to
Things that Matter The first one because ldquoit ties the app situation and solution to Chicago Health Departmentrdquo which is important - important that the data is being collected by the people that actually do something out Best would be combining 1 amp 3 - everyone would be benefit Bakunin Third one seemed like there was a registry of places that had food poisoning - ldquoif itrsquos linked to politics it doesnrsquot carry that much weight as the power of social mediahelliprdquo First one does seem official but more people tweeting adds to legitimacy from the people that are there vs ldquothe eye in the skyrdquo
bull gives example of traffic on Dan Ryan would be more effective hearing from people because they are in the middle of it vs a tweet from ABC News
B Health Department gives ldquoa little more credibilityrdquo Just having Fun First one
What would be the first thing you do if you got one of these tweets Mowgli I would check out Twitter profile out first
5
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Things that Matter B Just having fun Bakunin Click link
Is there anyone else you rather get a tweet from if its about food poisoning
Bakunin Chicago Health Department or if he knew that this was the ldquoindependent watchdogrdquo for the Chicago Health Department to give it credibility B Getting info from other people - references how EveryBlock shares food inspection Mowgli First tweet shows most concern for the individual - ldquomost reassuring to merdquo - if I didnrsquot know about smartchicagoapps already I am not sure I would want to click that Things that Matter Interested in what other smartchicagoapps info has but foodborne illness is a crisis and might not investigate at that time
Foodborne Chicago Form
How do you feel about filling out this formgiving this information
6
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Bakunin ldquoWould this form be already filled inrdquo - itrsquos my civic duty wants them to call and agrees with 1 about the language of ldquothe cityrdquo - I donrsquot want to get anyone in troublebut you did just make me sick Just having Fun ldquoI would fill it out in a heartbeatrdquo interested in seeing if they followed up Things that Matter ldquoHow can the City reach yourdquo sounds big-brotherish or ominous - prefers ldquoHow would you like to be reachedrdquo - already have the trust if someone has clicked the link and filled out the form alreadyhellip ldquoItrsquos not the Health department itrsquos lsquoThe cityrsquo which has a certain type of connotationrdquo to ithellip this sounds more political Sometimes wants to be anonymous with 311 but wants to be followed up but wants the language to be more inviting B I think the city seems so wide - wersquod want more information should be more specific towards that agency
Is there anything that would make you feel more comfortable filling out this form
Bakunin There should be a city seal on the site - to show itrsquos official and give it authenticity Itrsquos not always the best thing to put a full name - does not want to be associated with shutting down a business and being traced back to him Things that Matter Required information initials or part of name to submit rather than full name Might want to put an e-mail address and may not want to put phonehellip wants to write whatever she wants
Would you be more likely to submit this form on a mobile device or on a computer
All mixed reaction seems not to matter Mowgli Laptop due to being comfortable with keyboard
QampA
Does this information change your feelings about filling out the form
B I wasnrsquot aware that this existed - always calls 311 Never bothered to go to Web site Confirms that this is official Just having Fun References past 311 experience and receiving confirmation number - ldquosurprised they actually fixed the problemrdquo Bakunin ldquoit gave me more confidencerdquo Looked at privacy policy and loved that information
7
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Would you want to see this information elsewhere - additional question
Mowgli ldquoAre you directed to this page after you fill out the formrdquo Made him feel less comfortable Not sure what Smart Chicago is based on the site and does not know what the entity structure is - not sure what is happening to the data between submitted him and reaching the city Needs to have a straight-forward connection to the City Likes source code but only helps because he is a developer Bakunin Hyperlinks ldquowhat happens to your informationrdquo on privacy policy with form Things that Matter I think most people knows what 311 is that info might further encourage somebody to report food poisoning
Would you want to receive an e-mail with this type of information
All Mixed reactions - no strong opinion from individuals or as group
General Foodborne Topics
In what ways do you think Foodborne Chicago could be improved [Written responses] Things that Matter Info QampA page Seems like a FAQ and would be better if named as such Include city related-logos and seals on all webpages to emphasize relationship and connection to city health dept amp city services like 311 Mowgli The name Foodborne induces a kind of negative feeling being associated with disease of course Its less about the illness and more about the reporting system isnt it The privacy policy could be highlighted as well as SmartChicagos connection with the city Just having fun To me it is fine but for it to be more effective if they provided information about the complaints that people have lodged against the restaurants and what action was taken Bakunin More legible association with the City of Chicago FAQs in short form along side the form City Seal (for symbolism) on form
Is there anything that they can do better to make you feel more inclined to interact with them or report food poisoning
Things that Matter Would be interesting to have a tracker of results (quantitative data) Bakunin Add the City seal

Alpha Man Mostly cell phone Foodie Mostly cell but sometimes uses computer when some people direct message What would be your normal course of action if someone you did not recognize tweeted at you
EhiAyoko Looks at picture and checks whether or not it is an ad Alpha Man Uses ldquoWho isrdquo - most of the time itrsquos people he knows or heard about LadyJ24 If itrsquos spam doesnrsquot add it Foodie Checks to see if itrsquos something for work generally people following are connected with sonrsquos school work or basketball

What would your initial reaction be if you got this tweet
EhiAyoko If foodborne asked a question that would make her more likely to open a link Sometimes when people send a link she automatically thinks itrsquos spam but if they ask a question then that would make it seem like a person behind the tweet ldquoWhere did you get food poisoningrdquo and then if she responds then send the link Natam99 ask a question versus to send a link Alpha Man Definitely would not open if on computer maybe open it on the phone If on the computer would check to see if the link is real LadyJ24 Not sure if she would click the link because it didnrsquot give enough information ldquoThis can helprdquo - what is ldquothisrdquo

Foodie Only time clicks on links in on mobile because of viruses donrsquot affect phones the same way as computers
If you have had food poisoning what actions if any did you take to report it
Natam99 Reported it by calling the restaurant but they didnrsquot want to take responsibility because no one else reported it
Do you normally tweet about being ill Would you tweet about food poisoning if it happened to you LadyJ24 Complain companies
Foodie Mostly would do that on Facebook because Twitter profile is generally locked Facebook a way to give friends a heads up and then can comment on it The same level of interaction does not work on Twitter unless they ldquostar somethingrdquo not sure if something is beneficial to someone else itrsquos not as easy to get feedback EhiAyoko Used to report bad restaurants and once reported a bad dentist and then someone started harassing her and so she stopped Alpha Man Would not report on Twitter but might report on Facebook Has more friends on Facebook that would want to inform vs on Twitter

EhiAyoko Combination of the first and third one ldquoSorry to hear yoursquore ill Where did you eat Let us know hererdquo It was hard to choose Alpha Man The middle one I wouldnrsquot use (others agreed) First and third because it apologizes first then asks a question and then gives advice LadyJ24 The third one because it includes a question Seems more concerned than the other statements Foodie Agree the third one is the most appealing

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Things that Matter B Just having fun Bakunin Click link
Is there anyone else you rather get a tweet from if its about food poisoning
Bakunin Chicago Health Department or if he knew that this was the ldquoindependent watchdogrdquo for the Chicago Health Department to give it credibility B Getting info from other people - references how EveryBlock shares food inspection Mowgli First tweet shows most concern for the individual - ldquomost reassuring to merdquo - if I didnrsquot know about smartchicagoapps already I am not sure I would want to click that Things that Matter Interested in what other smartchicagoapps info has but foodborne illness is a crisis and might not investigate at that time
Foodborne Chicago Form
How do you feel about filling out this formgiving this information
6
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Bakunin ldquoWould this form be already filled inrdquo - itrsquos my civic duty wants them to call and agrees with 1 about the language of ldquothe cityrdquo - I donrsquot want to get anyone in troublebut you did just make me sick Just having Fun ldquoI would fill it out in a heartbeatrdquo interested in seeing if they followed up Things that Matter ldquoHow can the City reach yourdquo sounds big-brotherish or ominous - prefers ldquoHow would you like to be reachedrdquo - already have the trust if someone has clicked the link and filled out the form alreadyhellip ldquoItrsquos not the Health department itrsquos lsquoThe cityrsquo which has a certain type of connotationrdquo to ithellip this sounds more political Sometimes wants to be anonymous with 311 but wants to be followed up but wants the language to be more inviting B I think the city seems so wide - wersquod want more information should be more specific towards that agency
Is there anything that would make you feel more comfortable filling out this form
Bakunin There should be a city seal on the site - to show itrsquos official and give it authenticity Itrsquos not always the best thing to put a full name - does not want to be associated with shutting down a business and being traced back to him Things that Matter Required information initials or part of name to submit rather than full name Might want to put an e-mail address and may not want to put phonehellip wants to write whatever she wants
Would you be more likely to submit this form on a mobile device or on a computer
All mixed reaction seems not to matter Mowgli Laptop due to being comfortable with keyboard
QampA
Does this information change your feelings about filling out the form
B I wasnrsquot aware that this existed - always calls 311 Never bothered to go to Web site Confirms that this is official Just having Fun References past 311 experience and receiving confirmation number - ldquosurprised they actually fixed the problemrdquo Bakunin ldquoit gave me more confidencerdquo Looked at privacy policy and loved that information
7
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Would you want to see this information elsewhere - additional question
Mowgli ldquoAre you directed to this page after you fill out the formrdquo Made him feel less comfortable Not sure what Smart Chicago is based on the site and does not know what the entity structure is - not sure what is happening to the data between submitted him and reaching the city Needs to have a straight-forward connection to the City Likes source code but only helps because he is a developer Bakunin Hyperlinks ldquowhat happens to your informationrdquo on privacy policy with form Things that Matter I think most people knows what 311 is that info might further encourage somebody to report food poisoning
Would you want to receive an e-mail with this type of information
All Mixed reactions - no strong opinion from individuals or as group
General Foodborne Topics
In what ways do you think Foodborne Chicago could be improved [Written responses] Things that Matter Info QampA page Seems like a FAQ and would be better if named as such Include city related-logos and seals on all webpages to emphasize relationship and connection to city health dept amp city services like 311 Mowgli The name Foodborne induces a kind of negative feeling being associated with disease of course Its less about the illness and more about the reporting system isnt it The privacy policy could be highlighted as well as SmartChicagos connection with the city Just having fun To me it is fine but for it to be more effective if they provided information about the complaints that people have lodged against the restaurants and what action was taken Bakunin More legible association with the City of Chicago FAQs in short form along side the form City Seal (for symbolism) on form
Is there anything that they can do better to make you feel more inclined to interact with them or report food poisoning
Things that Matter Would be interesting to have a tracker of results (quantitative data) Bakunin Add the City seal

Re giving information on the form Andersonville Appreciate anonymity of the internet and depends on how angry he is about the situation - not sure if wants a response Spouse of food poison victim ldquoThatrsquos toughrdquo - part of him wants a paper trail of the situation (law settlement from wifersquos experience but could not track it) - interested in this helping citizens keep records Andersonville Believes that with Spouse of food poison victimrsquos situation the doctorhospital would have to report it and this form is ldquominorrdquo
Spouse of food poison victim When I asked him about reporting it he said he didnrsquot have to
Foodlover ldquoI donrsquot know if I would because I am not sure what the effect would berdquo slackerdiva Are these people advocates for me
[What do you think it does from this initial page]
Spouse of food poison victim Notifies something is going on somewhere - ldquoare you going to share that with the publicrdquo to not go somewhere - ldquoitrsquos hard to say not go somewhererdquo slackerdiva Would do it but wants a response quickly Spouse of food poison victim Like an auto-reply with a case number
Does this information change your feelings about filling out the form
OnePresence Consumers are creating some record of an incident - ldquoa legitimate reportrdquo - if many people fill this out you get crowd-sourced legitimacy Also want to see progresstally to see what Foodborne has done Twitter feed on the page - adds credibility and tells him that itrsquos currenton-going and allows him to appreciate what Foodborne Chicago is doing Foodlover Still not sure what happens and you get a tracker number ldquobut what does the city do what does the 311 system dordquo slackerdiva Interested in Github piece - Open311 lends credibility and very interested in this part - itrsquos trackeablemeasurable ldquothatrsquos coolrdquo Very interested in the Service Tracker - likes the 311 component Interested in blog to give static information spot (vs Twitter feed idea)
Do you normally look at FAQ in your normal use of Web sites ndash additional question
Spouse of food poison victim For something health related would look at FAQ - consumer web sites he wouldnrsquot Urgency would not explore a Web site

slackerdiva Yes interested in privacy policy (124 interested in seeing this on the first page) Spouse of food poison victim Yes Andersonville ldquoHow instantaneous is itrdquo

How do you feel about Foodborne Chicago
OnePresence Glad it doesnrsquot ask for a location because tired of answering NO Andersonville Agrees with this itrsquos annoying OnePresence Interested in resources to know if you have food poisoning vs flu or other illness

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Alpha Man Mostly cell phone Foodie Mostly cell but sometimes uses computer when some people direct message What would be your normal course of action if someone you did not recognize tweeted at you
EhiAyoko Looks at picture and checks whether or not it is an ad Alpha Man Uses ldquoWho isrdquo - most of the time itrsquos people he knows or heard about LadyJ24 If itrsquos spam doesnrsquot add it Foodie Checks to see if itrsquos something for work generally people following are connected with sonrsquos school work or basketball
Can you tell me about a positive experience you had with an organization through social media Alpha Man With NAACP and received a lot of retweets for the ldquoget out and voterdquo stuff
EhiAyoko Tweet for organization works and itrsquos good to get new followers - feels like she is doing something good
LadyJ24 Likes to stay current
Foodborne Chicago Tweets
What would your initial reaction be if you got this tweet
EhiAyoko If foodborne asked a question that would make her more likely to open a link Sometimes when people send a link she automatically thinks itrsquos spam but if they ask a question then that would make it seem like a person behind the tweet ldquoWhere did you get food poisoningrdquo and then if she responds then send the link Natam99 ask a question versus to send a link Alpha Man Definitely would not open if on computer maybe open it on the phone If on the computer would check to see if the link is real LadyJ24 Not sure if she would click the link because it didnrsquot give enough information ldquoThis can helprdquo - what is ldquothisrdquo
17

Foodie Only time clicks on links in on mobile because of viruses donrsquot affect phones the same way as computers
If you have had food poisoning what actions if any did you take to report it
Natam99 Reported it by calling the restaurant but they didnrsquot want to take responsibility because no one else reported it
Do you normally tweet about being ill Would you tweet about food poisoning if it happened to you LadyJ24 Complain companies
Foodie Mostly would do that on Facebook because Twitter profile is generally locked Facebook a way to give friends a heads up and then can comment on it The same level of interaction does not work on Twitter unless they ldquostar somethingrdquo not sure if something is beneficial to someone else itrsquos not as easy to get feedback EhiAyoko Used to report bad restaurants and once reported a bad dentist and then someone started harassing her and so she stopped Alpha Man Would not report on Twitter but might report on Facebook Has more friends on Facebook that would want to inform vs on Twitter
18
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Which of these tweets would you be most responsive to
EhiAyoko Combination of the first and third one ldquoSorry to hear yoursquore ill Where did you eat Let us know hererdquo It was hard to choose Alpha Man The middle one I wouldnrsquot use (others agreed) First and third because it apologizes first then asks a question and then gives advice LadyJ24 The third one because it includes a question Seems more concerned than the other statements Foodie Agree the third one is the most appealing
What would be the first thing you do if you got one of these tweets Natam99 Would click on it Alpha Man Still would check it out first and would click on it (using phone)

Natam99 Giving the customer a time frame of when someone is going to response Alpha Man Advertise this information out to the community so that people know about it Foodie Maybe just add the info about the 311 link so I can follow up and see my report was made A Facebook presence would capture a wider range of ages of people LadyJ24 Advertising and follow- up procedures

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo
23
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Bakunin ldquoWould this form be already filled inrdquo - itrsquos my civic duty wants them to call and agrees with 1 about the language of ldquothe cityrdquo - I donrsquot want to get anyone in troublebut you did just make me sick Just having Fun ldquoI would fill it out in a heartbeatrdquo interested in seeing if they followed up Things that Matter ldquoHow can the City reach yourdquo sounds big-brotherish or ominous - prefers ldquoHow would you like to be reachedrdquo - already have the trust if someone has clicked the link and filled out the form alreadyhellip ldquoItrsquos not the Health department itrsquos lsquoThe cityrsquo which has a certain type of connotationrdquo to ithellip this sounds more political Sometimes wants to be anonymous with 311 but wants to be followed up but wants the language to be more inviting B I think the city seems so wide - wersquod want more information should be more specific towards that agency
Is there anything that would make you feel more comfortable filling out this form
Bakunin There should be a city seal on the site - to show itrsquos official and give it authenticity Itrsquos not always the best thing to put a full name - does not want to be associated with shutting down a business and being traced back to him Things that Matter Required information initials or part of name to submit rather than full name Might want to put an e-mail address and may not want to put phonehellip wants to write whatever she wants
Would you be more likely to submit this form on a mobile device or on a computer
All mixed reaction seems not to matter Mowgli Laptop due to being comfortable with keyboard
QampA
Does this information change your feelings about filling out the form
B I wasnrsquot aware that this existed - always calls 311 Never bothered to go to Web site Confirms that this is official Just having Fun References past 311 experience and receiving confirmation number - ldquosurprised they actually fixed the problemrdquo Bakunin ldquoit gave me more confidencerdquo Looked at privacy policy and loved that information
7
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Would you want to see this information elsewhere - additional question
Mowgli ldquoAre you directed to this page after you fill out the formrdquo Made him feel less comfortable Not sure what Smart Chicago is based on the site and does not know what the entity structure is - not sure what is happening to the data between submitted him and reaching the city Needs to have a straight-forward connection to the City Likes source code but only helps because he is a developer Bakunin Hyperlinks ldquowhat happens to your informationrdquo on privacy policy with form Things that Matter I think most people knows what 311 is that info might further encourage somebody to report food poisoning
Would you want to receive an e-mail with this type of information
All Mixed reactions - no strong opinion from individuals or as group
General Foodborne Topics
In what ways do you think Foodborne Chicago could be improved [Written responses] Things that Matter Info QampA page Seems like a FAQ and would be better if named as such Include city related-logos and seals on all webpages to emphasize relationship and connection to city health dept amp city services like 311 Mowgli The name Foodborne induces a kind of negative feeling being associated with disease of course Its less about the illness and more about the reporting system isnt it The privacy policy could be highlighted as well as SmartChicagos connection with the city Just having fun To me it is fine but for it to be more effective if they provided information about the complaints that people have lodged against the restaurants and what action was taken Bakunin More legible association with the City of Chicago FAQs in short form along side the form City Seal (for symbolism) on form
Is there anything that they can do better to make you feel more inclined to interact with them or report food poisoning
Things that Matter Would be interesting to have a tracker of results (quantitative data) Bakunin Add the City seal

OnePresence Consumers are creating some record of an incident - ldquoa legitimate reportrdquo - if many people fill this out you get crowd-sourced legitimacy Also want to see progresstally to see what Foodborne has done Twitter feed on the page - adds credibility and tells him that itrsquos currenton-going and allows him to appreciate what Foodborne Chicago is doing Foodlover Still not sure what happens and you get a tracker number ldquobut what does the city do what does the 311 system dordquo slackerdiva Interested in Github piece - Open311 lends credibility and very interested in this part - itrsquos trackeablemeasurable ldquothatrsquos coolrdquo Very interested in the Service Tracker - likes the 311 component Interested in blog to give static information spot (vs Twitter feed idea)

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Would you want to see this information elsewhere - additional question
Mowgli ldquoAre you directed to this page after you fill out the formrdquo Made him feel less comfortable Not sure what Smart Chicago is based on the site and does not know what the entity structure is - not sure what is happening to the data between submitted him and reaching the city Needs to have a straight-forward connection to the City Likes source code but only helps because he is a developer Bakunin Hyperlinks ldquowhat happens to your informationrdquo on privacy policy with form Things that Matter I think most people knows what 311 is that info might further encourage somebody to report food poisoning
Would you want to receive an e-mail with this type of information
All Mixed reactions - no strong opinion from individuals or as group
General Foodborne Topics
In what ways do you think Foodborne Chicago could be improved [Written responses] Things that Matter Info QampA page Seems like a FAQ and would be better if named as such Include city related-logos and seals on all webpages to emphasize relationship and connection to city health dept amp city services like 311 Mowgli The name Foodborne induces a kind of negative feeling being associated with disease of course Its less about the illness and more about the reporting system isnt it The privacy policy could be highlighted as well as SmartChicagos connection with the city Just having fun To me it is fine but for it to be more effective if they provided information about the complaints that people have lodged against the restaurants and what action was taken Bakunin More legible association with the City of Chicago FAQs in short form along side the form City Seal (for symbolism) on form
Is there anything that they can do better to make you feel more inclined to interact with them or report food poisoning
Things that Matter Would be interesting to have a tracker of results (quantitative data) Bakunin Add the City seal

Foodlover ldquoI donrsquot know if I would because I am not sure what the effect would berdquo slackerdiva Are these people advocates for me

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Alpha Man Mostly cell phone Foodie Mostly cell but sometimes uses computer when some people direct message What would be your normal course of action if someone you did not recognize tweeted at you
EhiAyoko Looks at picture and checks whether or not it is an ad Alpha Man Uses ldquoWho isrdquo - most of the time itrsquos people he knows or heard about LadyJ24 If itrsquos spam doesnrsquot add it Foodie Checks to see if itrsquos something for work generally people following are connected with sonrsquos school work or basketball
Can you tell me about a positive experience you had with an organization through social media Alpha Man With NAACP and received a lot of retweets for the ldquoget out and voterdquo stuff
EhiAyoko Tweet for organization works and itrsquos good to get new followers - feels like she is doing something good
LadyJ24 Likes to stay current
Foodborne Chicago Tweets
What would your initial reaction be if you got this tweet
EhiAyoko If foodborne asked a question that would make her more likely to open a link Sometimes when people send a link she automatically thinks itrsquos spam but if they ask a question then that would make it seem like a person behind the tweet ldquoWhere did you get food poisoningrdquo and then if she responds then send the link Natam99 ask a question versus to send a link Alpha Man Definitely would not open if on computer maybe open it on the phone If on the computer would check to see if the link is real LadyJ24 Not sure if she would click the link because it didnrsquot give enough information ldquoThis can helprdquo - what is ldquothisrdquo

Foodie Only time clicks on links in on mobile because of viruses donrsquot affect phones the same way as computers
If you have had food poisoning what actions if any did you take to report it
Natam99 Reported it by calling the restaurant but they didnrsquot want to take responsibility because no one else reported it
Do you normally tweet about being ill Would you tweet about food poisoning if it happened to you LadyJ24 Complain companies
Foodie Mostly would do that on Facebook because Twitter profile is generally locked Facebook a way to give friends a heads up and then can comment on it The same level of interaction does not work on Twitter unless they ldquostar somethingrdquo not sure if something is beneficial to someone else itrsquos not as easy to get feedback EhiAyoko Used to report bad restaurants and once reported a bad dentist and then someone started harassing her and so she stopped Alpha Man Would not report on Twitter but might report on Facebook Has more friends on Facebook that would want to inform vs on Twitter
18
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Which of these tweets would you be most responsive to
EhiAyoko Combination of the first and third one ldquoSorry to hear yoursquore ill Where did you eat Let us know hererdquo It was hard to choose Alpha Man The middle one I wouldnrsquot use (others agreed) First and third because it apologizes first then asks a question and then gives advice LadyJ24 The third one because it includes a question Seems more concerned than the other statements Foodie Agree the third one is the most appealing

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

EhiAyoko If foodborne asked a question that would make her more likely to open a link Sometimes when people send a link she automatically thinks itrsquos spam but if they ask a question then that would make it seem like a person behind the tweet ldquoWhere did you get food poisoningrdquo and then if she responds then send the link Natam99 ask a question versus to send a link Alpha Man Definitely would not open if on computer maybe open it on the phone If on the computer would check to see if the link is real LadyJ24 Not sure if she would click the link because it didnrsquot give enough information ldquoThis can helprdquo - what is ldquothisrdquo

Natam99 Reported it by calling the restaurant but they didnrsquot want to take responsibility because no one else reported it
Do you normally tweet about being ill Would you tweet about food poisoning if it happened to you LadyJ24 Complain companies
Foodie Mostly would do that on Facebook because Twitter profile is generally locked Facebook a way to give friends a heads up and then can comment on it The same level of interaction does not work on Twitter unless they ldquostar somethingrdquo not sure if something is beneficial to someone else itrsquos not as easy to get feedback EhiAyoko Used to report bad restaurants and once reported a bad dentist and then someone started harassing her and so she stopped Alpha Man Would not report on Twitter but might report on Facebook Has more friends on Facebook that would want to inform vs on Twitter

EhiAyoko Combination of the first and third one ldquoSorry to hear yoursquore ill Where did you eat Let us know hererdquo It was hard to choose Alpha Man The middle one I wouldnrsquot use (others agreed) First and third because it apologizes first then asks a question and then gives advice LadyJ24 The third one because it includes a question Seems more concerned than the other statements Foodie Agree the third one is the most appealing

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Spouse of food poison victim When I asked him about reporting it he said he didnrsquot have to
Foodlover ldquoI donrsquot know if I would because I am not sure what the effect would berdquo slackerdiva Are these people advocates for me

Does this information change your feelings about filling out the form
OnePresence Consumers are creating some record of an incident - ldquoa legitimate reportrdquo - if many people fill this out you get crowd-sourced legitimacy Also want to see progresstally to see what Foodborne has done Twitter feed on the page - adds credibility and tells him that itrsquos currenton-going and allows him to appreciate what Foodborne Chicago is doing Foodlover Still not sure what happens and you get a tracker number ldquobut what does the city do what does the 311 system dordquo slackerdiva Interested in Github piece - Open311 lends credibility and very interested in this part - itrsquos trackeablemeasurable ldquothatrsquos coolrdquo Very interested in the Service Tracker - likes the 311 component Interested in blog to give static information spot (vs Twitter feed idea)

How do you feel about Foodborne Chicago

Alpha Man Mostly cell phone Foodie Mostly cell but sometimes uses computer when some people direct message What would be your normal course of action if someone you did not recognize tweeted at you
EhiAyoko Looks at picture and checks whether or not it is an ad Alpha Man Uses ldquoWho isrdquo - most of the time itrsquos people he knows or heard about LadyJ24 If itrsquos spam doesnrsquot add it Foodie Checks to see if itrsquos something for work generally people following are connected with sonrsquos school work or basketball

What would your initial reaction be if you got this tweet
EhiAyoko If foodborne asked a question that would make her more likely to open a link Sometimes when people send a link she automatically thinks itrsquos spam but if they ask a question then that would make it seem like a person behind the tweet ldquoWhere did you get food poisoningrdquo and then if she responds then send the link Natam99 ask a question versus to send a link Alpha Man Definitely would not open if on computer maybe open it on the phone If on the computer would check to see if the link is real LadyJ24 Not sure if she would click the link because it didnrsquot give enough information ldquoThis can helprdquo - what is ldquothisrdquo

Foodie Only time clicks on links in on mobile because of viruses donrsquot affect phones the same way as computers
If you have had food poisoning what actions if any did you take to report it
Natam99 Reported it by calling the restaurant but they didnrsquot want to take responsibility because no one else reported it
Do you normally tweet about being ill Would you tweet about food poisoning if it happened to you LadyJ24 Complain companies
Foodie Mostly would do that on Facebook because Twitter profile is generally locked Facebook a way to give friends a heads up and then can comment on it The same level of interaction does not work on Twitter unless they ldquostar somethingrdquo not sure if something is beneficial to someone else itrsquos not as easy to get feedback EhiAyoko Used to report bad restaurants and once reported a bad dentist and then someone started harassing her and so she stopped Alpha Man Would not report on Twitter but might report on Facebook Has more friends on Facebook that would want to inform vs on Twitter

EhiAyoko Combination of the first and third one ldquoSorry to hear yoursquore ill Where did you eat Let us know hererdquo It was hard to choose Alpha Man The middle one I wouldnrsquot use (others agreed) First and third because it apologizes first then asks a question and then gives advice LadyJ24 The third one because it includes a question Seems more concerned than the other statements Foodie Agree the third one is the most appealing

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo
23
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Re giving information on the form Andersonville Appreciate anonymity of the internet and depends on how angry he is about the situation - not sure if wants a response Spouse of food poison victim ldquoThatrsquos toughrdquo - part of him wants a paper trail of the situation (law settlement from wifersquos experience but could not track it) - interested in this helping citizens keep records Andersonville Believes that with Spouse of food poison victimrsquos situation the doctorhospital would have to report it and this form is ldquominorrdquo
Spouse of food poison victim When I asked him about reporting it he said he didnrsquot have to
Foodlover ldquoI donrsquot know if I would because I am not sure what the effect would berdquo slackerdiva Are these people advocates for me

Does this information change your feelings about filling out the form
OnePresence Consumers are creating some record of an incident - ldquoa legitimate reportrdquo - if many people fill this out you get crowd-sourced legitimacy Also want to see progresstally to see what Foodborne has done Twitter feed on the page - adds credibility and tells him that itrsquos currenton-going and allows him to appreciate what Foodborne Chicago is doing Foodlover Still not sure what happens and you get a tracker number ldquobut what does the city do what does the 311 system dordquo slackerdiva Interested in Github piece - Open311 lends credibility and very interested in this part - itrsquos trackeablemeasurable ldquothatrsquos coolrdquo Very interested in the Service Tracker - likes the 311 component Interested in blog to give static information spot (vs Twitter feed idea)

How do you feel about Foodborne Chicago
OnePresence Glad it doesnrsquot ask for a location because tired of answering NO Andersonville Agrees with this itrsquos annoying OnePresence Interested in resources to know if you have food poisoning vs flu or other illness

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo
23
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Re giving information on the form Andersonville Appreciate anonymity of the internet and depends on how angry he is about the situation - not sure if wants a response Spouse of food poison victim ldquoThatrsquos toughrdquo - part of him wants a paper trail of the situation (law settlement from wifersquos experience but could not track it) - interested in this helping citizens keep records Andersonville Believes that with Spouse of food poison victimrsquos situation the doctorhospital would have to report it and this form is ldquominorrdquo
Spouse of food poison victim When I asked him about reporting it he said he didnrsquot have to
Foodlover ldquoI donrsquot know if I would because I am not sure what the effect would berdquo slackerdiva Are these people advocates for me
[What do you think it does from this initial page]
Spouse of food poison victim Notifies something is going on somewhere - ldquoare you going to share that with the publicrdquo to not go somewhere - ldquoitrsquos hard to say not go somewhererdquo slackerdiva Would do it but wants a response quickly Spouse of food poison victim Like an auto-reply with a case number
Does this information change your feelings about filling out the form
OnePresence Consumers are creating some record of an incident - ldquoa legitimate reportrdquo - if many people fill this out you get crowd-sourced legitimacy Also want to see progresstally to see what Foodborne has done Twitter feed on the page - adds credibility and tells him that itrsquos currenton-going and allows him to appreciate what Foodborne Chicago is doing Foodlover Still not sure what happens and you get a tracker number ldquobut what does the city do what does the 311 system dordquo slackerdiva Interested in Github piece - Open311 lends credibility and very interested in this part - itrsquos trackeablemeasurable ldquothatrsquos coolrdquo Very interested in the Service Tracker - likes the 311 component Interested in blog to give static information spot (vs Twitter feed idea)
Do you normally look at FAQ in your normal use of Web sites ndash additional question
Spouse of food poison victim For something health related would look at FAQ - consumer web sites he wouldnrsquot Urgency would not explore a Web site

slackerdiva Yes interested in privacy policy (124 interested in seeing this on the first page) Spouse of food poison victim Yes Andersonville ldquoHow instantaneous is itrdquo
General Foodborne Topics In what ways do you think Foodborne Chicago could be improved
OnePresence Maybe there could be a dashboard that summarizes trends in food issues in Chicago Slackerdiva Show me success stories Show me what concrete actionable steps were taken that aided individuals in the city from 2 weeks of gastrointestinal nightmares FoodLover Make link to health dept more blatant Define expectations of what happens if I fill out the form Greater awareness of the app so people know its legit Spouse of food poison victim Getting the word out on the program is the most important thing at this point as I feel like a pretty engaged city resident but have never heard of the organization I also think highlighting the collaboration with the Citys Department of Health is important Andersonville I [think] that it is useful the problem is that it is not very well known so a site like this can be mistaken as something else If the org was a gov instead it would be more helpful
How do you feel about Foodborne Chicago
OnePresence Glad it doesnrsquot ask for a location because tired of answering NO Andersonville Agrees with this itrsquos annoying OnePresence Interested in resources to know if you have food poisoning vs flu or other illness

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo
23
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Re giving information on the form Andersonville Appreciate anonymity of the internet and depends on how angry he is about the situation - not sure if wants a response Spouse of food poison victim ldquoThatrsquos toughrdquo - part of him wants a paper trail of the situation (law settlement from wifersquos experience but could not track it) - interested in this helping citizens keep records Andersonville Believes that with Spouse of food poison victimrsquos situation the doctorhospital would have to report it and this form is ldquominorrdquo
Spouse of food poison victim When I asked him about reporting it he said he didnrsquot have to
Foodlover ldquoI donrsquot know if I would because I am not sure what the effect would berdquo slackerdiva Are these people advocates for me
[What do you think it does from this initial page]
Spouse of food poison victim Notifies something is going on somewhere - ldquoare you going to share that with the publicrdquo to not go somewhere - ldquoitrsquos hard to say not go somewhererdquo slackerdiva Would do it but wants a response quickly Spouse of food poison victim Like an auto-reply with a case number
Does this information change your feelings about filling out the form
OnePresence Consumers are creating some record of an incident - ldquoa legitimate reportrdquo - if many people fill this out you get crowd-sourced legitimacy Also want to see progresstally to see what Foodborne has done Twitter feed on the page - adds credibility and tells him that itrsquos currenton-going and allows him to appreciate what Foodborne Chicago is doing Foodlover Still not sure what happens and you get a tracker number ldquobut what does the city do what does the 311 system dordquo slackerdiva Interested in Github piece - Open311 lends credibility and very interested in this part - itrsquos trackeablemeasurable ldquothatrsquos coolrdquo Very interested in the Service Tracker - likes the 311 component Interested in blog to give static information spot (vs Twitter feed idea)
Do you normally look at FAQ in your normal use of Web sites ndash additional question
Spouse of food poison victim For something health related would look at FAQ - consumer web sites he wouldnrsquot Urgency would not explore a Web site

General Foodborne Topics In what ways do you think Foodborne Chicago could be improved
OnePresence Maybe there could be a dashboard that summarizes trends in food issues in Chicago Slackerdiva Show me success stories Show me what concrete actionable steps were taken that aided individuals in the city from 2 weeks of gastrointestinal nightmares FoodLover Make link to health dept more blatant Define expectations of what happens if I fill out the form Greater awareness of the app so people know its legit Spouse of food poison victim Getting the word out on the program is the most important thing at this point as I feel like a pretty engaged city resident but have never heard of the organization I also think highlighting the collaboration with the Citys Department of Health is important Andersonville I [think] that it is useful the problem is that it is not very well known so a site like this can be mistaken as something else If the org was a gov instead it would be more helpful
How do you feel about Foodborne Chicago
OnePresence Glad it doesnrsquot ask for a location because tired of answering NO Andersonville Agrees with this itrsquos annoying OnePresence Interested in resources to know if you have food poisoning vs flu or other illness

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Re giving information on the form Andersonville Appreciate anonymity of the internet and depends on how angry he is about the situation - not sure if wants a response Spouse of food poison victim ldquoThatrsquos toughrdquo - part of him wants a paper trail of the situation (law settlement from wifersquos experience but could not track it) - interested in this helping citizens keep records Andersonville Believes that with Spouse of food poison victimrsquos situation the doctorhospital would have to report it and this form is ldquominorrdquo
Spouse of food poison victim When I asked him about reporting it he said he didnrsquot have to
Foodlover ldquoI donrsquot know if I would because I am not sure what the effect would berdquo slackerdiva Are these people advocates for me
[What do you think it does from this initial page]
Spouse of food poison victim Notifies something is going on somewhere - ldquoare you going to share that with the publicrdquo to not go somewhere - ldquoitrsquos hard to say not go somewhererdquo slackerdiva Would do it but wants a response quickly Spouse of food poison victim Like an auto-reply with a case number

OnePresence Consumers are creating some record of an incident - ldquoa legitimate reportrdquo - if many people fill this out you get crowd-sourced legitimacy Also want to see progresstally to see what Foodborne has done Twitter feed on the page - adds credibility and tells him that itrsquos currenton-going and allows him to appreciate what Foodborne Chicago is doing Foodlover Still not sure what happens and you get a tracker number ldquobut what does the city do what does the 311 system dordquo slackerdiva Interested in Github piece - Open311 lends credibility and very interested in this part - itrsquos trackeablemeasurable ldquothatrsquos coolrdquo Very interested in the Service Tracker - likes the 311 component Interested in blog to give static information spot (vs Twitter feed idea)
Do you normally look at FAQ in your normal use of Web sites ndash additional question
Spouse of food poison victim For something health related would look at FAQ - consumer web sites he wouldnrsquot Urgency would not explore a Web site

slackerdiva Yes interested in privacy policy (124 interested in seeing this on the first page) Spouse of food poison victim Yes Andersonville ldquoHow instantaneous is itrdquo
General Foodborne Topics In what ways do you think Foodborne Chicago could be improved
OnePresence Maybe there could be a dashboard that summarizes trends in food issues in Chicago Slackerdiva Show me success stories Show me what concrete actionable steps were taken that aided individuals in the city from 2 weeks of gastrointestinal nightmares FoodLover Make link to health dept more blatant Define expectations of what happens if I fill out the form Greater awareness of the app so people know its legit Spouse of food poison victim Getting the word out on the program is the most important thing at this point as I feel like a pretty engaged city resident but have never heard of the organization I also think highlighting the collaboration with the Citys Department of Health is important Andersonville I [think] that it is useful the problem is that it is not very well known so a site like this can be mistaken as something else If the org was a gov instead it would be more helpful
How do you feel about Foodborne Chicago

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of

testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo
23
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo
23
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Which of these tweets would you be most responsive to
EhiAyoko Combination of the first and third one ldquoSorry to hear yoursquore ill Where did you eat Let us know hererdquo It was hard to choose Alpha Man The middle one I wouldnrsquot use (others agreed) First and third because it apologizes first then asks a question and then gives advice LadyJ24 The third one because it includes a question Seems more concerned than the other statements Foodie Agree the third one is the most appealing

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo
23
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

Foodborne Chicago Tweets What would your initial reaction be if you got this tweet Written Spam I would prefer a more human response Asking me a question to prompt me to respond May be more efficient to get a user to respond In group If foodborne asked a question that would make her more likely to open a link Sometimes when people send a link she automatically thinks itrsquos spam but if they ask a question then that would make it seem like a person behind the tweet ldquoWhere did you get food poisoningrdquo and then if she responds then send the link If you have had food poisoning what actions if any did you take to report it

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Conclusions How do users feel about responding to a random tweet Foodborne Chicago uses computers and code to search Twitter for tweets related to food poisoning in Chicago Then real humans review the tweets and reply back to people with a link to the Foodborne Chicago page and form We were interested how users might react to receiving a random tweet from someone they do not know We learned a few different things Twitter is used as a private communications network Twitter is used as a private means of communication even though their tweets are public Twitter users tend to connect with people they know or who are in their network Most testers were not sure about responding to strangers since most of the time they are considered to be spammers
Twitter handle amp logo helps We showed testers the above tweet which was a tweet that was commonly used when responding to users food poisoning tweets A lot of people reacted strongly and were uncomfortable clicking the link for multiple reasons including the fact that
This might help was not descriptive Testers did not know what foodbornesmartchicagoappsorg led to Were surprised that someone they didnt know would tweet at that about food poisoning
Even though this was the case multiple testers remarked that Foodborne Chicago still looked legitimate because of Chicago being part of the name and the clean and simple logo

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of
24
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Tweets should have three elements compassion question and an official element We shared two additional responses (see above) that Foodborne Chicago has tweeted Some testers felt more likely to respond to strangers if they pose a question rather than a statement Overwhelmingly testers would be more likely to respond to the first option Does the form require too much information When we created this test we thought that the form might have too many fields and users would not want to fill it out We learned that users were very likely to fill out the form and users liked that it was a simple form and did not require too much information Bakunin thought that it was his civic duty to fill out this form to make sure others do not get sick What we did learn was that while we were not asking too much information on the form testers still had question about our privacy policy and the process Would users feel better or worse if there was more Chicago Department of Public Health or 311 visibility Testers were interested in a stronger connection to the City of Chicago the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 During the test we directed testers to look at the QampA page that gives information about what happens after the form is completed and the privacy policy The majority of

testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
testers liked that by submitting this form they would be creating a 311 request and would receive a tracker number One tester B told us I wasnt aware that this existed I always call 311 I never bothered to go to Web site [This] confirms that this is official Testers wanted to see relevant logos on the Web site to emphasize the connections to the Chicago Department of Public Health and 311 Why do residents on the South side of Chicago not respond as often as residents from other Chicago neighborhoods As mentioned before Twitter users see Twitter as a way to connect with people they know or are within in their circles whether that be their friends their work or their community From this test we learned that we need to find ways to become part of more networks by engaging with more people on our topic By connecting with individuals and organizations and advertising what Foodborne Chicago does we will be able to grow our network and become a part of other peoples We are interested in connecting with community groups and other organizations that are trusted in these networks to help facilitate information and increase the credibility of Foodborne Chicago
Next Steps We are taking steps to make changes to increase submissions of the forms Change the Tweet We immediately changed the tweet language to include compassion and an official component - the Chicago Health Department We also added a Twitter card in order to provide more detail about information being sent through the Chicago 311 service
URL Update We also changed the URL to wwwfoodbornechicagoorg and removed the smartchicagoappsorg This extra component of the Web site had a lot of questions from testers and testers were unsure about the link
25
CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities

CUTGroup 9 ndash Foodborne Chicago In-person Test on April 14 2014
Be more Official Here are some ways we are thinking of doing this on the Web site
We changed the header information to include Chicago Department of Public Health We are considering ways to incorporate the relevant logos on the homepage
More about Process Testers felt more comfortable with the form and the process of providing their information after reading the QampA page We made a few steps to make this clearer
We added a link to our privacy policy right on the form We changed the language on the form from How can the City reach you to How can the
Chicago Department of Public Health reach you in order to be clearer about who would contact users
We are planning to make changes to the home page to show the process in a couple of easy steps
We want to add data about the number of food inspections resulting from Foodborne to header on homepage because testers wanted to see a tracker of quantitative data as a way to show impact of what this site has done
Being part of more Networks The final step is figuring out ways to be part of more peoples networks so that they feel comfortable clicking the link and submitting the form We are interested in learning about common organizations or individuals that people have in common to see about who we can reach for a large impact By connecting with these organizations or individuals we can build credibility in different communities
