Although some studies have already been done on the quality of websites on depression, they have mainly focused on content quality, and were mostly carried out about a decade ago. The main aim of this work was thus to examine the quality of current websites on depression through the use of several indicators.
Three keywords on depression were entered into a popular search engine. Websites were evaluated on accountability, interactivity, esthetics, readability, and content quality. Moreover, the presence of the "Health on the Net" (HON) quality label and the website's affiliation were checked, and the Brief DISCERN was used as a potential content quality indicator for general consumers.
A total of 45 websites were analyzed. The content quality of the depression-related websites was good. Websites with the HON label had significantly higher accountability, content quality, and Brief DISCERN scores. Moreover, websites with a high score on the Brief DISCERN scored significantly higher for accountability and content quality. Finally, the content quality of websites was significantly and positively correlated with the Brief DISCERN score, the presence of the HON label, and affiliation of the websites.
The overall quality of websites on depression seems to be rather good.
尽管已经有一些关于抑郁症网站质量的研究，但这些研究主要集中在内容质量上，而且大多是在十年前进行的。因此，这项工作的主要目的是通过使用多个指标来检查当前关于抑郁症的网站的质量。
在一个流行的搜索引擎中输入三个关于抑郁症的关键词。网站在问责制、互动性、美学、可读性和内容质量方面进行了评估。此外，还检查了“健康网络”（HON）质量标签的存在以及网站的隶属关系，并使用 Brief DISCERN 作为一般消费者的潜在内容质量指标。
共分析了 45 个网站。与抑郁症相关的网站的内容质量良好。带有 HON 标签的网站在问责制、内容质量和 Brief DISCERN 评分方面明显更高。此外，Brief DISCERN 评分高的网站在问责制和内容质量方面的得分也明显更高。最后，网站的内容质量与 Brief DISCERN 评分、HON 标签的存在以及网站的隶属关系呈显著正相关。
抑郁症网站的整体质量似乎相当不错。
