“…These properties pose a challenge to people navigating the Internet, in particular if information contents are highly specialized as in the medical domain. Analyses of online sources show that online health information is of variable and in most cases low scientific quality [1,2]. In addition, studies suggest that a digital divide limits older and less-educated people’s Web-use skills and, ultimately, their access to online information [3].…”

BackgroundOnline health information is of variable and often low scientific quality. In particular, elderly less-educated populations are said to struggle in accessing quality online information (digital divide). Little is known about (1) how their online behavior differs from that of younger, more-educated, and more-frequent Web users, and (2) how the older population may be supported in accessing good-quality online health information.ObjectiveTo specify the digital divide between skilled and less-skilled Web users, we assessed qualitative differences in technical skills, cognitive strategies, and attitudes toward online health information. Based on these findings, we identified educational and technological interventions to help Web users find and access good-quality online health information.MethodsWe asked 22 native German-speaking adults to search for health information online. The skilled cohort consisted of 10 participants who were younger than 30 years of age, had a higher level of education, and were more experienced using the Web than 12 participants in the less-skilled cohort, who were at least 50 years of age. We observed online health information searches to specify differences in technical skills and analyzed concurrent verbal protocols to identify health information seekers’ cognitive strategies and attitudes.ResultsOur main findings relate to (1) attitudes: health information seekers in both cohorts doubted the quality of information retrieved online; among poorly skilled seekers, this was mainly because they doubted their skills to navigate vast amounts of information; once a website was accessed, quality concerns disappeared in both cohorts, (2) technical skills: skilled Web users effectively filtered information according to search intentions and data sources; less-skilled users were easily distracted by unrelated information, and (3) cognitive strategies: skilled Web users searched to inform themselves; less-skilled users searched to confirm their health-related opinions such as “vaccinations are harmful.” Independent of Web-use skills, most participants stopped a search once they had found the first piece of evidence satisfying search intentions, rather than according to quality criteria.ConclusionsFindings related to Web-use skills differences suggest two classes of interventions to facilitate access to good-quality online health information. Challenges related to findings (1) and (2) should be remedied by improving people’s basic Web-use skills. In particular, Web users should be taught how to avoid information overload by generating specific search terms and to avoid low-quality information by requesting results from trusted websites only. Problems related to finding (3) may be remedied by visually labeling search engine results according to quality criteria.

Zusammenfassung Ziel der Analyse Im Jahr 2006 wurde der erste Impfstoff gegen Humane Papillomviren (HPV) in Europa zugelassen und 2007 in den Leistungskatalog der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung in Deutschland aufgenommen. Schon im Vorfeld und auch nach der Zulassung wurde der Impfstoff kontrovers in Öffentlichkeit und (Print-)Medien diskutiert. Wir untersuchten die gesundheitsjournalistische Qualität der Berichterstattung zur HPV-Impfung während der Kontroverse. Methodik Die LexisNexis-Printmedien-Datenbank wurde anhand ausgewählter Suchbegriffe für 4 deutsche auflagenstarke überregionale Zeitungen sowie 4 auflagenstarke Zeitschriften und Magazine für den Zeitraum 2006–2009 durchsucht. HPV-bezogene Artikel wurden anhand etablierter Indikatoren untersucht und jeweils anhand eines dezimalen Punkte-Notenschlüssels zusammenfassend bewertet. Ergebnisse Es wurden 58 Zeitungs- und Magazinartikel zur HPV-Impfung identifiziert und von 2 unabhängigen Personen bewertet. Die einzelnen Indikatoren gesundheitsjournalistischer Berichterstattung wurden durchschnittlich mit der Note 4,6 von 6 bewertet. Gerade die für LeserInnen relevantesten Qualitätskategorien, die ein hinreichendes Verständnis der HPV-Impfung ermöglichen, konnte ein Großteil der Artikel nicht erfüllen. Lediglich die Kategorien Einfachheit der Sprache und Gliederung/Ordnung wurden in fast allen Artikeln positiv umgesetzt. Schlussfolgerungen Die Einhaltung der etablierten Qualitätsstandards gilt als eine wichtige Grundlage des Gesundheitsjournalismus, erweist sich aber bei einer komplexen Berichterstattung wie der HPV-Impfung als kaum vollständig umsetzbar. Aus Public-Health-Sicht lassen sich dennoch vermeidbare Defizite in der Berichterstattung identifizieren, insbesondere bezüglich der unvollständigen Evidenzlage zur Impfung zu diesem Zeitpunkt. Mithilfe eines Public-Health-basierten Media-Monitorings könnten Informationsdefizite oder häufige Fehlinformationen systematisch erkannt und durch entsprechende zusätzliche Aufklärungsmaßnahmen behoben werden.

“…They provide support for authors and publishers of EBHI by offering quality criteria [6]. Even though the criteria for EBHI have long been defined [7,8], implementation into practice is lacking [9,10]. Interviews with providers of health information revealed shortcomings regarding their competences in evidence-based medicine (EBM) [11].…”

A blended learning training programme for health information providers to enhance implementation of the Guideline Evidence-based Health Information: development and qualitative pilot study

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background:The Guideline Evidence-based Health Information was published in 2017 and addresses health information providers. The long-term goal of the guideline is to improve the quality of health information. Evidence-based health information represents a prerequisite for informed decision-making. Health information providers lack competences in evidence-based medicine. Therefore, our aim was to develop and pilot-test a blended learning training programme for health information providers to enhance application of the guideline. Methods: Development:We developed the training programme according to the Medical Research Council guidance for developing and evaluating complex interventions. The training programme was planned on the basis of problem-based learning. It aims to impart competences in evidence-based medicine. Furthermore, it comprises the application of criteria for evidence-based health information. Pilot testing:We conducted a qualitative pilot study focusing on the acceptability and feasibility of the training programme. Health information providers were recruited and in-house training sessions were offered. Feasibility and acceptability were explored by structured class observations and in semi-structured focus group interviews with the participants after the training sessions. The transcripts and documentations were analysed using qualitative content analysis according to Mayring. The training was revised iteratively according to the results.
