“…Therefore, the proportion of views that could be attributed to medical students could not be gauged. Future studies should utilize YouTube Analytics to survey the audience [12].

Background YouTube is a popular platform with many videos, which have potential educational value for medical students. Due to the lack of peer review, other surrogates are necessary to determine the content quality of such educational videos. Few studies have analyzed the research background or academic affiliation of the physicians associated with the production of YouTube videos for medical education. The research background or academic affiliations of those physicians may be a reflection of the content quality of these educational videos. Objective This study identifies physicians associated with the production of educational YouTube videos about shingles and analyzes those physicians based on their research background or academic affiliation, which may be good surrogates for video content quality. Methods Using the YouTube search engine with default settings, the term “shingles” was searched on May 8, 2020. A cross-sectional study was performed using the first 50 search results. A search on Scopus for each identified physician was performed, and data regarding their research background and academic affiliation were recorded. Results Of the 50 YouTube videos, 35 (70%) were categorized as academic. Of the 35 academic videos, 24 (71%) videos featured physicians, totaling 25 physicians overall. Out of these 25 physicians, 5 (20%) had at least 1 shingles-related publication and 8 (32%) had an h-index >10. A total of 21 (84%) physicians held an academic affiliation. Conclusions These results ensure to a certain degree the quality of the content in academic videos on YouTube for medical education. However, further evaluation is needed for this growing platform.

“…Second, the frequent inclusion of GAD treatment options in popular YouTube videos may not necessarily imply that there is more information on treatment than on causes of GAD on social media. Previous studies have found that YouTube videos with more emphasis on treatment and caregivers’ roles in mental health intervention generated more views and longer watch time (Lam, Tsiang, & Woo, 2017; Lam & Woo, 2018; Woo & Chung, 2018; Zheng & Woo, 2017). Nevertheless, understanding causes of mental illnesses may promote interests in learning treatment options, which could lead to better communication between patients, caregivers and health professionals.…”
