A couple of thoughts I had about interaction.  

The Q and A format for pamphlets seems too plain for my taste.  I have a hard time thinking of this as interaction.  
Questions like: 
What causes . . . 
Who is at risk . . .
How do you treat . . .


So, what does involve interaction?  
Checking a box?  Circling an item?
Filling in a line?  Thinking about a thought provoking question?  

How do we use interaction effectively to move the reader to action?

Has anyone asked patients what they would like to see when it comes to interaction?
