Introduction. The internet is an ever-evolving resource to improve healthcare literacy among patients. The nature of the internet can make it difficult to condense educational materials in a manner applicable to a worldwide patient audience. Within the realm of endocrinology, there is a lack of a comprehensive analysis regarding these pathologies in addition to educational materials related to their medical workup and management. The aim of this study is to assess contemporary online patient education material in endocrinology and management of care. Methods. Analysis of the readability of 1500 unique online education materials was performed utilizing 7 readability measures: Flesch Reading Ease (FRE), Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL), Gunning Fog Index Readability Formula (FOG), Simple Measure of Gobbledygook Index (SMOG), Coleman-Liau Index (CLI), automated readability index (ARI), and Linsear Write Formula (LWF). Results. The average grade level readability scores from 6 measures (FKGL, FOG, SMOG, CLI, ARI, LWF) was ≥11 which corresponds to a reading level at or above the 11th grade. The average FRE between adrenal, diabetes and thyroid-related education material ranged between “fairly difficult” to “very difficult”. Conclusions. The current readability of contemporary online endocrine education material does not meet current readability recommendations for appropriate comprehension of the general audience.

“…Future directions ought to include a longitudinal parameter utilizing GAD-7 and PHQ-8 tools to measure their respective domains during the present situations (i.e., utilizing the cross-sectional survey before the student is enrolled in an EECP). In addition, another focus could be on observing neuropsychological factors in this academic environment [ 24 ]. Moreover, this study did not address whether the subject area rigor of courses or positive stress management tactics (e.g.…”

IntroductionMental health disorders affect adolescents and children and have resulted in many academic institutions now recognizing and taking steps to reduce the pressure they place on students. Early Entrance to College Programs (EECP) is a small subset of academic institutions focused on providing an accelerated higher education path, and these students are held to high academic standards. It is important to research the effects of these programs on the students' mental health, as younger children are extremely susceptible to mental disorders that may last into adulthood. MethodsThis study analyzed a three-part survey given to alumni of various EECPs. The survey is a combination of Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and yes/no questions regarding the participants' demographics. A longitudinal study was also conducted on current students in EECPs. These students were given a survey consisting of the 21-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) questionnaire, which was completed two times throughout the academic year, three months later. ResultsThe results displayed that there was a significant impact of academic rigor on the mental health of these students. In both the one-time and longitudinal studies, a majority of participants recorded having higher levels of anxiety and depression than before they were in the program. ConclusionsThe association between mental health and academic rigor is similar to what is seen among both high school and college cohort students with a greater emphasis on the social environment as a modulating factor.
