“…It employed more prescriptive search terms, since the broader search terms used in other studies may not have provided a representative sample of individual user needs. 11 Although Bozkurt and Aras reported on videos that included topics related to feeding, speech, and hearing, they did not specifically search nor detail the videos in these practice areas. Korkmaz and Buyuk did not search or report on feeding, speech, or hearing videos, though they did note that the most viewed video was about newborn feeding difficulties.…”

Objective Healthcare information on YouTube is often inaccurate or insufficient. However, parents turn to social media for answers about their children's health conditions. Understanding the nature of content in specified scope of practice areas can help professionals clarify misinformation or utilize quality YouTube content in clinical context. This research examined: (1) meta-data and upload source; (2) understandability and actionability; and (3) content quality and clinical utility of YouTube videos related to speech, hearing, and feeding with children with cleft lip and palate (CLP). Design A cross-sectional design was used. Main Outcome Measure(s) Videos related to speech, hearing, and feeding with children with CLP were obtained. Meta-data and upload source were identified. The Patient Education Material Assessment Tool-AudioVisual (PEMAT-AV) was used to assess understandability and actionability. The DISCERN instrument was used to evaluate content quality. Responses to open-ended questions were used to evaluate clinical utility. Results Of 652 videos reviewed for potential inclusion, only 33 met the inclusion criteria. Of those, only 17 met adequate levels of both understandability and actionability. Results of DISCERN indicated that the videos were of fair quality. Analysis of clinical utility indicated that none of the videos should be used as stand-alone parent education materials. Conclusions Videos pertaining to speech, hearing and feeding issues are not viewed as frequently as videos addressing other areas of CLP. Our findings are consistent with previous reports that the videos related to CLP may be limited in their clinical utility. Professionals are needed to interpret the offerings and guide families to appropriate videos.

“…Following previous studies on YouTube videos, 9 , 17 the validated Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Audiovisual Materials (PEMAT A/V) 18 was used to evaluate the understandability and actionability of the YouTube videos. There were 17 evaluation items that assessed the content, word choice and style, organization, layout and design, use of visual aids, and actionability.…”

“…Previous studies have reported that YouTube videos were frequently watched by adults with health problems 5 but generally had subpar quality and actionability. 6 – 11 Previous studies have evaluated the YouTube videos of dental radiography targeted for the professionals, such as radiographic procedures and radiographic anatomy. 12 – 14 However, it was of paramount importance to evaluate the videos dealing with the safety issue of dental x-rays targeted at the public.…”

Objective This study provided a content analysis of English and Chinese YouTube videos related to dental radiation safety. Method The search string, entered in English and Chinese respectively, was: (dental x-ray safe). The searches were performed and exported with Apify YouTube scraper. By screening the resultant videos and their related videos (as recommended by YouTube), a total of 89 videos were screened. Finally, 45 videos (36 English and nine Chinese) were included and analyzed. The specific information regarding dental radiation was evaluated. The Patient Education Material Assessment Tool for Audiovisual Materials was used to assess understandability and actionability. Results There was no significant difference between the English and Chinese videos in terms of view count, like count, comment count, and video duration. Half of the videos explicitly reassured the audience that dental x-rays are safe. Two of the English videos specifically stated that dental x-rays do not cause cancers. Numerous analogies were made in regard to radiation dose, such as equivalence to taking a flight or eating some bananas. About 41.7% of the English videos and 33.3% of the Chinese videos mentioned that patients could be further protected from scatter radiation by wearing a lead apron and thyroid collar. Videos had a good understandability score (91.3) but a poor actionability score (0). Conclusions Some of the analogies and the claimed radiation dose were questionable. One Chinese video even wrongly stated that dental x-rays are nonionizing radiation. The videos generally did not mention their information sources or the underlying radiation protection principles.

“…The number of views of the videos and by whom they are uploaded is among the basic criteria for evaluating the quality. 9 Kollia et al 10 conducted a study on autism spectrum disorder and reported that the most viewed videos were uploaded and provided by non-professionals (e.g., personal videos and television program videos). However, experts have doubts about the reliability of such videos in terms of answering people's questions.…”

Aims: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of the information provided by the top 100 videos when searching for "speech and language disorders" on YouTube™. Methods: The results of the YouTube™ search were examined using the keyword “speech and language disorders”. The search was limited to the first 100 videos. Modified DISCERN, Global Quality Score (GQS), Video Information and Quality Index (VIQI), and the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) criteria were used for the evaluation of the videos. The Kruskal-Wallis H Test, Mann-Whitney U, and Spearman's RHO correlation were used for statistical analyses. The significance level was taken as p
