Content Quality of YouTube Videos About Gestational Diabetes: Systematic Evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People with gestational diabetes have enhanced learning requirements during pregnancy, and management of their disease often requires the translation of health information into new health behavior changes. Seeking information from the internet to augment learning from health professionals is becoming more common during pregnancy. YouTube is a popular free and accessible web-based resource, which may be particularly useful for individuals with low health literacy or other barriers to receiving high-quality health care; however, the quality and content of YouTube videos varies, and little is known about those covering gestational diabetes.

Objective

We aimed to systematically evaluate the quality, content, and reliability of YouTube videos about gestational diabetes
