“…We assume that retrieving more relevant search results will subsequently lead to people make better health decisions. User studies by Keselman et al [100] and Kobayashi and Ishizaki [106], suggest that our assumption is not necessarily true. People may still make incorrect decisions regardless of the relevance of the health information presented to them; for example the study by Kobayashi and Ishizaki [106] suggests that the complexity of medical language may steer people towards incorrect decisions.…”

Therefore, an end-to-end user study (i.e., from formulating queries to making decision) is needed to gain a coherent understanding on the impact of our works.…”
