Evaluation of the quality of depression-related information on Chinese websites and video platforms: a cross-sectional comparative analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We aimed to assess the quality of information regarding depression on Chinese websites and popular video platforms.

Methods

We conducted searches on website platforms (Baidu, Bing) and video platforms (Bilibili, Douyin) using search terms "depression", "depressive disorder", "depression treatment", "depressive anxiety", "depressed patient", and "depressive symptoms". We collected the first 50 results with each search term in each platform. Each website and video included in this study was assessed using The DISCERN instrument (DISCERN), Journal of American Medical Association benchmark criteria (JAMA), Hexagonal Radar Schema (HRS), and Global Quality Scores (GQS).

Results

A total of 177 websites, 216 Bilibili videos, and 244 Douyin videos were included. Amo
