Abstract

This study aimed to assess diabetes health information found on TikTok and quantify misinformation on TikTok. The authors assessed 171 videos through two health literacy tools, DISCERN and the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Audiovisual Materials, to rate the understandability and actionability of online medical content. The findings from this study encourage health care professionals to use social media platforms to provide factual information about diabetes and advise online health care consumers to use reputable sources such as trusted diabetes organizations' social media accounts, which tend to validate content with clinicians.

该研究旨在评估TikTok上的糖尿病健康信息，并量化TikTok上的错误信息。作者通过两种健康素养工具（DISCERN和视听材料患者教育材料评估工具）评估了171个视频，以评估在线医疗内容的可理解性和可操作性。这项研究的结果鼓励医疗保健专业人员使用社交媒体平台提供有关糖尿病的事实信息，并建议在线医疗保健消费者使用信誉良好的来源，如值得信赖的糖尿病组织的社交媒体帐户，这些帐户倾向于与临床医生验证内容。
