“…Studies show that Internet users resort to search tools, such as Google, to search for relevant subjects and usually do not explore different pages of results, preferring to repeat the search if they do not find what they want in the first page 10,29 . Our results confirm international literature because it was possible to observe that Internet is an important source of information about health, even about pain-related contents, and is a tool being increasingly used by people, being possible to observe in different searched pages a high number of user accesses and interactions 3,4,5,7,10,21,30 . We decided in this study to use the documental research modality, because this is recommended when researchers aim at capturing information directly from the source, without their intervention.…”

“…Internet is already widely used, both in computers and cell phones, with incredible growth 1 and is used as research site (e.g., to look for scientific references), research object (being what is being studied), and research tool (data col-lection tool) 2 . So, the worldwide web is a tool to promote health and, as a consequence, to empower individuals, that is, a partner in their search for better understanding what they feel and sharing knowledge [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] . Health promotion is the process of qualifying the community in order to reach physical, mental and social wellbeing 11 .…”

“…However, analysis of the quality of the disseminated information still presents limitations. 3,4,5 The instruments made for this purpose are scarce; those available are presented exclusively in English and need re-assessments and re-adaptations, since technological changes have impacts on changes in the web environment itself 5,6 .…”

Introduction: Concerns about proper nutrition in childhood have been highlighted by the media. This is accompanied by an ongoing increase in the number of Internet pages, including those on social networks, channeled toward providing health information. Objective: To analyze the nutritional quality of snack recipes presented on web pages, aimed at preschoolers and described as healthy. Methods: a cross-sectional study carried out in 2015. A search was made for Brazilian web pages aimed at the lay public, and that contained snacks for children between 2 and 6 years of age. The first 20 URLs located by the search engine were selected and 10% of the recipes were set apart. The snacks were checked for compliance with steps 6, 7, and 8 of the Food Guide. Subsequently, nutritional labels were made for the preparations that met the three pre-established steps. Results: 85% of the pages were sites, 5% were blogs, and the rest were identified as sites/blogs. It was found that all were readable/comprehensible and 40% provided author identification. Of the 35 preparations initially observed, 31.4% met all three steps for healthy eating. In the qualitative analysis, seven were considered hypocaloric; only one of the snacks came close to the proposed carbohydrate content; two had excess protein. In general, the recipes had low quantities of: lipids, calcium, iron, sodium, and fiber. Conclusions: less than half of the addresses consulted identified the author. In addition, the recipes were predominantly misleading, as most had inadequacies in macronutrient and micronutrient content.

Introduction Plenty of information about health is available on the Internet; however, quality and legibility are not always evaluated. Knowledge regarding orofacial functions can be considered important for the population because it allows proper stimulus, early diagnosis, and prevention of the oral myofunctional alterations during early infancy. Objective The aim was evaluate the quality, legibility, and range of Web sites available in Brazilian Portuguese regarding the orofacial functions. Methods Selected Web sites with information directed to parents/caregivers of babies regarding breast-feeding, feeding after 6 months, deleterious oral habits, and breathing and speech were studied. The Web sites were evaluated through the application of Flesch Reading Ease Test and aspects of the Health on the Net (HON) modified code (HONCode); the range of the subjects addressed was compared with other aspects of infant development. Results From the access of 350 pages of the Internet, 35 Web sites were selected and 315 excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria. In relation to legibility, Web sites scored an average of 61.23% in the Flesch Test, and the application of the modified HONCode showed an average of 6.43 points; an average of 2.49 subjects were found per Web site evaluated, with information on breast-feeding being more frequent and subjects such as breathing and speech less frequent. Conclusions Web sites that deal with orofacial functions presented standard legibility classification. Only half of the ethical principles were considered by the modified HONCode in their majority, and most addressed subjects after “breast-feeding” were presented with restricted range.
