Article Abstract
To improve user experience, many health IT systems provide personalization options allowing end users to tailor the software to their needs and preferences. However, few studies have investigated if healthcare professionals actually make full use of this feature. As an initial step towards understanding end users' software personalization behavior in healthcare, we conducted a pilot study to examine how clinicians, staff, and researchers customized a search engine designed to facilitate information retrieval from electronic health records. The results show that a majority of the end users (82.4%) did not make an effort to modify the system's default settings. Among those who did, they more often changed its 'look-and-feel' than its functionality offerings. We conclude that future research is warranted to study the rationale underlying healthcare professionals' software personalization decisions both to optimize user experience and to avoid building complex and costly personalization options that are unused or underutilized.

Sworn law enforcement personnel in the United States face high rates of work-related stress. Yet, the well-being of more than 300,000 non-sworn personnel, particularly regarding work-related trauma and stress, remains underexplored. This study aims to test the hypothesis that non-sworn personnel experience lower levels of stress, comparing stress and probable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) between sworn and non-sworn personnel.
