Dagens #fsvoversigt:
Low health literacy and evaluation of online health information: a systematic
review of the literature.
J Med Internet Res. 2015;17(5):e112
Authors: Diviani N, van den Putte B, Giani S, van Weert JC
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in consumer online
health information seeking. The quality of online health information, however,
remains questionable. The issue of information evaluation has become a hot
topic, leading to the development of guidelines and checklists to design
high-quality online health information. However, little attention has been
devoted to how consumers, in particular people with low health literacy,
evaluate online health information.
OBJECTIVE: The main aim of this study was to review existing evidence on the
association between low health literacy and (1) people's ability to evaluate
online health information, (2) perceived quality of online health information,
(3) trust in online health information, and (4) use of evaluation criteria for
online health information.
METHODS: Five academic databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CINAHL,
and Communication and Mass-media Complete) were systematically searched. We
included peer-reviewed publications investigating differences in the evaluation
of online information between people with different health literacy levels.
RESULTS: After abstract and full-text screening, 38 articles were included in
the review. Only four studies investigated the specific role of low health
literacy in the evaluation of online health information. The other studies
examined the association between educational level or other skills-based
proxies for health literacy, such as general literacy, and outcomes. Results
indicate that low health literacy (and related skills) are negatively related
to the ability to evaluate online health information and trust in online health
information. Evidence on the association with perceived quality of online
health information and use of evaluation criteria is inconclusive.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings indicate that low health literacy (and related
skills) play a role in the evaluation of online health information. This topic
is therefore worth more scholarly attention. Based on the results of this
review, future research in this field should (1) specifically focus on health
literacy, (2) devote more attention to the identification of the different
criteria people use to evaluate online health information, (3) develop shared
definitions and measures for the most commonly used outcomes in the field of
evaluation of online health information, and (4) assess the relationship
between the different evaluative dimensions and the role played by health
literacy in shaping their interplay.
