How Do Publicly Available Allergy-Specific Web-Based Training Programs Conform to the Established Criteria for the Reporting, Methods, and Content of Evidence-Based (Digital) Health Information and Education: Thematic Content Evaluation.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Allergic diseases, such as allergic asthma, rhinitis, and atopic eczema, are widespread, and they are a considerable burden on the health care system. For patients and health care professionals, Web-based training programs may be helpful to foster self-management and provide allergy-specific information, given, for instance, their good accessibility. OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to assess an exploratory sample of publicly available allergy-specific Web-based training programs-that is, interactive, feedback-oriented Web-based training platforms promoting health behavior change and improvement of personal skills-with regard to (1) general characteristics, aims, and target groups and (2) the extent to which these tools meet established criteria for the reporting, methods, and content
