Development and analysis of quality assessment tools for different types of patient information - websites, decision aids, question prompt lists, and videos.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Our working group has developed a set of quality assessment tools for different types of patient information material. In this paper we review and evaluate these tools and their development process over the past eight years.

Methods

We compared the content and structure of quality assessment tools for websites, patient decision aids (PDAs), question prompt lists (QPLs), and videos. Using data from their various applications, we calculated inter-rater concordance using Kendall's W.

Results
