What this is about
When multiple checkboxes or radio buttons belong to the same question, users need a clear group label so they understand what the options relate to. This review checks whether Ask Uncle G's grouped choices have a visible question or introduction. Where possible, future implementation can use fieldset and legend HTML elements for true related groups — but this page is a practical review tool only and does not automatically modify every form.
What to Review
Checkbox groups have a visible group question
- When multiple checkboxes belong to the same question, a heading or label introduces them
- Safety First warning sign checkboxes are introduced by 'What signs are present?'
- Checklist pages introduce each checklist with a clear title before the items
- Multi-select situations clearly say 'select all that apply' or equivalent
Radio-style and selection groups are clearly introduced
- When only one option should be chosen, the question is visible before the choices
- Help Finder situation type selector is labeled 'What kind of help do you need?'
- Dropdown fields are preceded by a visible text label
- Group labels remain close to the options — not separated by unrelated content
Group labels remain visible on mobile
- Group introduction text does not scroll off-screen before the options on mobile
- On small screens, the group question stacks directly above the option items
- Safety First checkboxes remain understandable when viewed on a phone
- Group labels do not truncate or disappear on narrow screens
Options are understandable without extra context
- Each option in a group makes sense when read on its own
- Emergency/danger options include enough text to be understood without the icon
- Safety and privacy groups do not rely on icons to communicate their meaning
- Volunteer/church groups include boundary or limitation language when relevant
Privacy-sensitive groups warn what not to enter
- Home Records organizer checkbox groups include a privacy reminder
- Senior support option groups do not prompt for medication names or dosages
- Any group near medical, financial, or personal data includes a plain-text privacy notice
- The privacy notice appears before the group options — not only at the bottom
Emergency and safety groups say when to stop
- When a safety group result indicates danger, the page says when to stop
- Repair Simulator and Safety First results clearly say 'Stop. Call a professional.'
- Emergency readiness groups reference calling emergency services in plain text
- No safety group outcome relies on a colored result alone without text guidance
